The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or on packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and baking times to achieve the best possible results for you.

OVEN LAMP

Only the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.

BAKE

The upper and lower heating elements come on. BAKE is the traditional method of cooking. It is best to cook on only one shelf at a time in this function.

GRILL

The grill at the top of the oven comes on. Preheat for five minutes. Use with the oven door closed and the temperature knob between 50°C and 225°C max. Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. For best results, use the topmost shelf position when you want quick browning (eg toast).

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the temperature knob set to O. The fan circulates air around the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by approximately 30%.

This function is not for cooking food.

FAN FORCED

The circular heating element and the fan come on. The oven set on FAN FORCED can cook several different foods together. Use FAN FORCED for multi-shelf cooking.

FAN GRILL

Both the grill and the fan come on. Use with the oven door closed and the temperature knob between 50°C and 225°C max.

WARM

The upper element, the circular element and the fan come on. Set between 50°C and 140°C.

This function is not for cooking food.

FAN BAKE

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan come on.

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking or defrosting.This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

Notes on baking and roasting:

Only use the fat filter for roasting. Remove before baking. Always clean the filter after cooking.
Preheat the oven before baking.
Do not place anything, including water or ice, on the oven floor.
