The Main Fan Oven - Tricity Bendix 1568 Operating Instructions Manual

THE MAIN FAN OVEN
1. The oven door should be opened by
pulling the handle at the top and closed
with a gentle push.
2. Before switching the oven 'on', arrange
the shelves in position. There are up to
three shelves provided to allow for bulk
baking on a maximum of three levels at
any one time. The even heat distribution in
the oven allows most dishes to be cooked
equally well on any shelf position. The
shelf positions are numbered from the
bottom upwards.
3. It is recommended that when baking
larger quantities, and all three shelves are
being used, the shelves should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A
slight increase in cooking time may be
necessary.
4. If cooking only one or two dishes it is
preferable that they are placed centrally on
separate shelves. This gives better heat.
distribution and more even cooking.
5. The shelves have an anti-tilt device fitted
which is effective provided the shelves are
fitted with the straight rods uppermost and
the forms to the back of the oven.
6. Generally, lower oven temperatures are
required when cooking in the fan oven
than conventional ovens. A guideline is to
reduce the temperature by 20-25°C when
using recipes from general cookery books,
or check with the temperature
recommendation for a similar recipe in the
Tricity Cookery Book supplied with the
cooker.
7. To operate the fan oven, turn the control
to the required temperature. The oven
indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the desired temperature and then
go out. It will cycle ON and OFF during
the cooking time, showing that the
temperature is being maintained. The oven
fan will operate continuously while the
oven control is set at a temperature.

8. The oven is vented. Under certain
conditions steam will be visible from the
vent. This is quite normal and prevents an
excessive build up of steam which would
otherwise occur inside the oven.
9. The use of oven thermometers are not
recommended as they do not give accurate
termperature readings and, therefore, can
give misleading information.
10. DO NOT line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Baking trays or oven dishes should not
be placed directly against the grid covering
the fan at the back of the oven.
