18Oven functions
Fan Bake
fan plus upper outer and lower elements
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and distributes it around the oven cavity.
Food cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional Bake function. You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes.
Use Fan Bake at a low temperature: 50°C for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins, scones and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.
Grill
upper inner and outer elements
Intense radiant heat is delivered from both top elements. 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.
