Oven functions
upper inner element
Intense radiant heat is delivered from the inner top element. There are 9 steps between ‘Lo’ and
‘Hi’ (100% power).
Preheating is not essential although some people prefer to allow the element to heat for a few
minutes before they place food under the grill.
The temperature halo will remain red while using the grill function.
The most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato
gratin and frittata.
Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.
Grill
Fan Forced
fan and rear element
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.
Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.
Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
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.
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.
Ideal for multi-shelf cooking biscuits, cookies, scones, muffins and cupcakes.
