8. COOKING FUNCTIONS
Symbol Function description
True fan
cooking
Heat comes from the element surrounding 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 Cooking’ 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.
NOTE: Food sensor function can be introduced into this cooking
cycle.
Coventional
cooking
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 set temperature. You can use the ‘Traditional Bake’
function for single shelf cooking, single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins,
cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg
dishes. This is a general function that can be used for most cooking.
NOTE: Food sensor function can be introduced into this cooking
cycle.
Fan assist
bake
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The
fan circulates 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 two shelves with ‘Fan Assist Bake’.
Do not use the bottom shelf. If the 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.
NOTE: Food sensor function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Roast
The Roast function is designed for roasting meats, poultry and fish by
utilising heat from all elements in combination with the fan to surround the
food. This provides even cooking throughout and enhanced browning.
NOTE: Food sensor function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Bottom heat
The ‘Bottom heat’ function is specially designed for food that require
extra browning such as the bases of pastries and pies. Heat comes from
the element below the food. If you choose the default setting, the oven
will heat up to 230°C in order to brown the food.
You should then lower the temperature as required. Cook in the lower
half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.
