l To operate the oven turn the oven temperature
control to the required setting.
l
The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the required temperature and then
go out.
It will turn ON and OFF periodically during
cooking showing that the temperature is being
maintained.
TO FIT THE 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.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
l When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf.
This will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
l
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.

USES OF THE FAN OVEN
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 charts on pages 18 & 19. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own
conventional oven recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
