Main oven fan cooking
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.

Things to note
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It

• The cooling fan for the controls
may operate after a time.
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.
Speed cook
Speed cook is ideal for quick preheating
of the oven before selecting and
alternative cooking function. It can also
be used for cooking chilled and frozen
convenience foods without the need for
preheating.
Cooking times
Cooking times for convenience foods
should be the same or slightly quicker
than those stated on the
packaging.This may vary depending on
the dish and the quantity of food being
cooked.
• Turn the main oven function
selector until the required setting is
shown.
