The Ovens
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven.
The right-hand oven is a fan oven.
Multi-function Ovens
Multi-function ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element,
as well as two extra heating elements. One element is in
the top of the oven and the second is under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deflector when placing or removing items from the oven.
The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions:
fan
,
fan assisted
and
conventional cooking
. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The

multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest you
keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with
each function. Remember, not all functions will be suitable
for all food types.

for a non-fan oven.
