Understanding your oven functions
Rapid Heat/AirFry
This function can be either used for a quicker pre-heat
of your oven or used to turn your oven into an AirFry
for your frying needs. 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.
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.
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 and set the temperature as
recommended.
Fan Forced/Fan Bake
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
Force” 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/Pizza” function for pizza and 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 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.
Fan Assist (FRVE915SCA model)
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The fans circulate 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
Forced” and offers you the combined benefits of both
functions. Heat comes from the elements surrounding
the fans 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.
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.
Grill
The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper
element onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function
for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish,
cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with
the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes
to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural
juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.
Maxi Grill/Full Grill
“Maxi Grill/Full Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful
upper elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi
Grill/Full 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/Full 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.
Pyro Clean
(FRVEP916SC model only)
The oven has a Pyrolytic self-cleaning function. It cleans
by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and
grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This
process produces ash which can then be wiped out
of the oven cavity.
Pyrolytic cleaning will not remove salt and mineral
residue left in the cavity well when water evaporates.
It is recommended that such residue is cleaned prior
to conducting pyrolytic cleaning cycle.
