Understanding your oven functions
rapid Heat
heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as
well as the smaller element above the food . this allows
you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard
"Bake" . "rapid heat" is ideal for cooking frozen pre-
cooked foods such as savoury dishes, pastries, pizzas,
mini meals (tv dinners), meat pies and fruit pies . simply
place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and
heat – ideal for busy people . cook in the upper half of
the oven for best results .
fan Bake
heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans .
the fans circulate 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 / pizza
heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food . the bottom element is a clean heat
element and is below the floor of the oven . Both
elements are 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 .
Base Heat
function 1
heat comes from the element below the floor of the
oven . the Element is controlled by the thermostat and
will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature .
the "Base heat" function can be used to add extra
browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries .
cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using
only one shelf . for best results, use silver or shiny trays .
fan Assist
function 2
heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food . the fans circulate the hot air around
the oven cavity so that you can put the food in different
places in the oven and still cook them at the same time .
you should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with "fan
assist" . Do not use the bottom shelf . If two shelves are
used, food on the shelf in the higher position will cook
first and should then be removed to allow the food on
the lower shelf to finish cooking .
pizza
function 3
"pizza" is a combination of "Base heat" and "fan
Bake" and offers you the combined benefits of both
functions . heat comes from the elements surrounding
the fans as well as the clean heat element below the
oven floor . the "pizza" function is ideal for foods that
require cooking and browning on the base . It is great for
foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies .
simply place the food in the middle of the oven and set
the desired temperature .
