required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The fan oven indicator neon will glow until the oven

has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during
cooking showing that the temperature is being
maintained.

2. The interior oven light will come ON when the fan

oven control is turned.

TO FIT THE FAN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.

USES OF THE MAIN 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 circulates in 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, soufflès etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 25. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20° - 25°C for your own
recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelves, especially useful when batch baking.
