Warm

Provides a constant low heat of less than 90°C.

Use to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use another oven function to heat the food piping hot and only then change to Warm, as this function alone will not bring cold food up to a high enough temperature to kill any harmful bacteria. Use the Warm function to prove bread. See ‘Tips for proving bread’.

Self Clean	The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally
	associated with oven cleaning.
	There are two Self-Clean cycles available:

-Self clean (which takes 5 hours) for normal cleaning and

-Light self-clean (which takes 4 hours) for lightly soiled ovens.

See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ in the User guide for details.

Tips for dehydrating fruit

To obtain high quality dried fruit, select only unblemished, ripe fruit.

Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Fruit that is not peeled will take longer to dry. Remove pits, stems or seeds if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven.

We recommend using Fan Forced or Fan Bake at 50°C.

Tips for proofing bread

Your oven provides an ideal sealed environment for proofing bread.

1Select the Warm function.

2Adjust the temperature down until the display shows `Lo’ .

3Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and/or a clean damp cloth.

4 Place the bowl into the warmed oven on shelf position 1.

Note: some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with the bread dough during baking. The additional moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a heat resistant dish and on an oven shelf in positions 1 or 2. Do not put it directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor will irreversibly damage the enamel.
