Bake/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.
Base Heat
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.
Defrost
The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is
circulated by the fans. You can defrost (thaw) your food
before you cook it. You can also use “Defrost” to raise
your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.
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 fans circulate the
heated air. The oven door remains closed for fan grill. You
can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of meat to give 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 the temperature to 180°C.
Understanding your oven functions
Rapid Heat
This function can be used for a quicker pre-heat of your
oven. Heat comes from the elements surrounding the
fans as well as the smaller element above the food. This
will heat up your oven 30% faster.
AirFry
Selected models are provided with an “AirFry”. The
AirFry enables advanced convection cooking without
having to turn the food, giving crispy great tasting
results in a shorter time without all the oil. This is suitable
for chips, chicken wings, nuggets and similar products
Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans
as well as the smaller element above the food. Food
items should be placed onto the mesh tray, spread out
evenly and positioned in the middle of the oven. Set
the function to “AirFry”1 and set the temperature as
recommended.
Fan Bake / Fan forced
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.
EaSteam
(WFEP917DSD model only)
“EaSteam” adds humidity at the beginning of
the baking process. In bakery products, this allows the
dough to rise and helps create a moist interior while
obtaining a golden and crispy crust. Before preheating,
when the oven is cold, add water to the cavity well. Refer
to chapter “EaSteam” for more details. For best
results preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes prior to
inserting food.
