COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS Preheating Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS Defrost The Defrost mode offers a clean and healthy means to defrost frozen food. Food left in the open is exposed to contamination by pets and insects. With the Defrost setting, food placed in the oven defrosts without heat, reducing the likelihood of growing bacteria.
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS Fan Oven In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from an element concealed behind the fan cover to give more even temperature throughout the oven. When cooking more than one tray of food on multiple shelves the even heat provides similar cooking results throughout each portion of food.
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS Normal Oven In this mode the outside ring of the top oven element and a concealed element under the oven compartment provides the oven heat. Normal Oven is most suitable when cooking on one rack only. For best results, arrange the shelves so the top of the food is near the centre of the oven.
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS Classic Bake On the Classic Bake selection, heat is provided only by the concealed element under the oven compartment. This mode is ideal where food must have a well-cooked base or where minimal browning is desired. Using Classic Bake Mode 1.
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS High Bake The High Bake mode uses the concealed elements behind the fan cover and under the oven in combination. With the addition of the forced convection of the oven fan, quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS 4.12 Normal Oven Cooking in Right Hand Oven (FED Model) In this mode the outside ring of the top oven element and a concealed element under the oven compartment provides the oven heat.
