USING YOUR OVEN

INSTALLING 

ACCESSORIES

shelves and trays

The shelves are designed so that they have maximum travel 

but cannot be accidentally pulled right out� The trays are 

designed the same way and fit straight into the side racks�

•   Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between 2 guide 

rails of the side rack - see diagram� Ensure the same rail 

positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged�

•   With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the 

oven�

•   Once the detents have passed the front edge of the side 

rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in�

•   When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with 

the closed oven door�

•   To insert the grill tray in a separate grill underbench 

product, fully open the drawer and position the tray so 

that the slots on the outer edges fit over the tabs on the 

slides�

•  Remove extra trays and dishes before roasting or baking.

To fit a tray to telescopic slides:

1�  Fully extend the slides on boths sides�

2�   Select the tray you wish to use and position the slots on 

one side on the respective tabs of the slide�

3�   Drop the other side down so that the tray is fully seated on 

both slides� 

When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the 

closed oven door�

understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions� Refer to “Description of your appliance” (page 4 and 5) to confirm 

what functions are available to you�

large oven

function

description

rapid heat

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan 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 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 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 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

Heat comes from the element below the food� 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

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 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

“Pizza” is a combination of “base heat” and “fan bake” and offers you the combined benefits of both functions� 

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan 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�

maxi grill

“Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food� You can use the “maxi grill” function for 

tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods� Grill with the oven 

door closed�

“Maxi grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal “grill”� For 

best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes� This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops 

etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of 

support rails�

fan grill

“Fan grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill” functions� The grill element turns on and off 

to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air� The oven door remains closed for fan grill� 

You can use “fan grill” for large cuts of meat in the large oven or smaller cuts in the mini oven (Duo only)� This gives 

you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat� Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position� 

Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to catch any spills� When using “fan grill” it is not necessary to turn the 

food over during the cooking cycle� Set temperature to 180°C�
