The main oven
The fan oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food. 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
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. For best results when
cooking frozen or cooked 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 cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by
about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on both
shelf levels, especially useful when
batch baking.
Using the main oven
• Turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting.
Things to note
• The indicator neon will glow. It
may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being
maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls
may operate after a time.
• The oven fan will operate.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelf 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.
Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g.
cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
