Bake
Fan and rear element
z
By using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity,
providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking.
z
Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and
chewy in the middle.
z
Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
z
Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
z
When multi-shelf cooking it is important to leave a gap between trays (eg use shelves 3
& 5) to allow the air to move freely. This enables the browning of foods on the lower tray.
z
If converting a recipe from Bake to Fan Forced, we recommend that you decrease the
bake time or decrease the temperature by approximately 20°C.

For items with longer bake times (eg over an hour) it may be necessary to decrease both
time and temperature.
