USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of
fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For
recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the oven
is preheated first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 30 and in the recipes given in the cookbook supplied with the cooker. As a
guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
