rails of the side rack - see diagram. Ensure the same rail
positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged.

the oven.

USING yOUR OvEN

UNdERSTANdING yOUR OvEN fUNCTIONS
Your oven will have a selection of the following functions.
Refer to "Description of your appliance" (page 4) to
confirm what functions are available to you.
OvEN
Refer to cooking guide for more information.
Fan Bake
Heat comes from the gas "base heat" burner which is then
circulated by the fan. This fan circulates the hot air around
the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different
places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.
You can use the "fan bake" function for multi-shelf cooking,
reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals.
It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking.
Please note that some variation in browning is normal.
Bake
Heat comes from the gas "base heat" burner below the
food. The bottom burner is below the floor of the oven
which is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and
off to maintain the set temperature.
You can use the "bake" function for single trays of biscuits,
scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,
roasts and delicate egg dishes.
– for best results use silver or shiny trays.
Defrost
The "defrost" function uses low temperature air which is
circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before
you cook it. Also you may use your "defrost" to raise your
yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.
GRILL
Refer to grilling guide for more information.
Grill (grill in oven GoR474, GoR476
models only)
The "grill" directs radiant heat from the powerful upper
element onto the food. You can use the "grill" function for
tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese
toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven
door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best
results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops
etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into
either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.
Fan Grill (grill in oven GoR474, GoR476
models only)
"Fan grill" offers you the benefits of both "bake" and
traditional "grill" functions. The grill element turns on and
off to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates
the heated air. The oven door remains closed for fan
grill. You can use "fan grill" for large cuts of meat in the
oven which gives you a result that is similar to "rotisserie"
cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second
lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf
position to catch any spills. When using "fan grill" it is not
necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle.
Set temperature to 180°C.
Separate Grill (GGR475, GXR650 models only)
The "grill" directs radiant heat from the powerful upper
element onto the food. You can use the "grill" function for
tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese
toasties and other quick cooking foods. . Preheat your grill
for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in
the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.
For models with a drop down grill door (GXR650),
the door must be left open while grilling. For models with
a slide out grill drawer (GGR475), the grill drawer should
be left open approx. two finger widths ajar.
