Oven functions
fan plus lower element
The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven.
Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking the topping.
Ideal for foods such as sweet and savoury pastry foods and delicate foods that require some top
browning eg frittata, quiche.
lower element only
Heat comes from the lower element only, the fan is not used.
This is the traditional baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens.
Bake on only one shelf at a time.
The oven will be hotter at the top.
Ideal for foods that require delicate baking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, pies, quiches
and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the top.
fan plus upper and lower elements
A two-step program. An initial 20 minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and
caramelises the outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for
the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavour.
Oven does not require preheating.
If desired, use the grill rack, grid or place vegetables under the roast to allow the juices to drain
away from your meat. This will allow the hot air to circulate under the meat as well.
Ideal for Roasting meat, chicken and vegetables.
