COOKING FUNCTIONS
There are a variety of cooking functions depending on the model of Built-In Oven you have.
Fan Cooking
Your Built-In Oven may have some of the following fan functions. A fan circulates air giving
more even distribution of temperatures throughout the oven. Fan functions allow you to cook
individual foods or several foods on different shelves and can be successfully used for most
foods.
Fan Bake
A separate fan at the back of the oven circulates hot air from the top and bottom elements
around the oven. Fan Bake is suitable for baked products, slices and pastries.
Fan/Multi Fan
Multi level fan forced cooking circulates heat from an element around the fan throughout the
oven. This function is particularly good for multi tray cooking, reheating cooked foods and
complete oven meals.
Fan Grill
The fan circulates heat from the grill element around the oven. This style of grilling takes the
place of a rotisserie. Fan Grill is suitable for foods you would normally fry e.g. sausages and
meatballs.

8
Grill
To use the grill, select Grill or Eco Grill on the Function knob. The grill can be set to the
required heat by using the Temperature knob. The hottest temperature is achieved at Hi. We
recommend that this temperature is used for grilling meats.
Soft-Touch Models
To use the grill, select Grill on the Function button. The grill can be set to EEco Grill or H
Full Grill. Both modes have 9 selectable steps which vary the time the elements are on. The
hottest temperature is achieved at Step 9. We recommend that this temperature is used for
grilling meats.
For best results when grilling, leave the oven door open at the first stop position. Foods to be
grilled are placed on the grill rack in the deep tray so they can be positioned in the oven
together.

Grill
Grill cooks a larger area of food by using heat from an upper element and is suitable for
family meals or larger amounts of food.
Eco Grill
Eco Grill is suitable for single servings or small pieces of food. By using it, you save energy
by heating a smaller grill area.
When using Eco Grill place your food in the middle of the grill rack.
Bake
Heat comes from the top and bottom of the oven. The bottom element is concealed beneath
the liner cover.
For baked products you will achieve a better result if the oven is pre-heated first.
Bake is suitable for cooking one tray of food at a time.
Classic Bake
With Classic Bake the heat comes from the bottom of the oven only, making it particularly
good for quiches and pies. Preheat on Bake or Fan Bake and when the oven has reached the
required cooking temperature, switch to Classic Bake.
Defrost
The Defrost function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. The temperature
should be set at 50°C at all times. This enables food to be thawed without cooking. Defrost is
also suitable for rising yeast dough and drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Warm
Warm is a cosntant low heat. It is useful for keeping hot food warm or for warming plates and
serving dishes.
Warm should not be used to reheat foods, as the food will not reach a temperature high
enough to kill harmful bacteria which may be present.
Warning
We do not advise placing aluminium foil or dishes with reflective qualities on the oven
bottom. This will cause a heat build up which will reuslt in irreversible damage to the
enamel.

Shelf positions are numbered from the top down.
Grill is carried out with the door open to the first stop position and preheated until the grill
element is hot and has turned red. The grill element does not cycle on and off.
Fan Grilling is carried out with the door closed and the oven does not need to be preheated.
The grill element cycles on and off and the hot air is circulated by the oven fan. The
thermostat maintains the set temperature. Fan Grill is suitable for products that you would
normally pan fry, barbecue or rotisserie and for larger cuts of meat.
Foods to be Grilled or Fan Grilled are placed on the grill rack in the deep tray so they can be
positioned in the oven together. For Grill, the rack and tray are slotted into the upper runners
depending on the thickness of the food and how well cooked the food is required. Fan Grill
may require the food to be placed lower in the oven.
The times given are a guide only and will be affected by the thickness of the food being
cooked.

These temperatures and times are a guide only and you may need to increase or decrease
these depending on your preferences.
A large piece of meat requires fewer minutes per 500g than a smaller piece. Roasting times
will be affected by the shape and size of the meat being roasted. Meat with a bone will cook
more quickly than a rolled roast.
Do not add water to your roast as this has a steaming affect.
Use a meat thermometer or meat probe to ensure an accurate result. As the internal
temperature of the meat will continue to rise during standing, please allow for this in your
calculation. This is particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast.
