It is recommended to preheat the oven for 10-15 minutes before placing food in it.
When baking cakes and pastries it is advisable to preheat the oven to one gas mark higher
than required. This will compensate for heat loss when opening the oven door. Reduce the
temperature to the setting required once the food is placed in the oven.
When opening the door during operation turn the fan off to minimise heat loss. Turn the fan on
again once cooking has resumed.
Open the door as little as possible during operation.
If it is necessary to cover food with foil or baking paper whilst cooking in fan mode, ensure that
the foil or paper is firmly secured.
Avoid using dark scone trays, cake tins or muffin trays. Light coloured metal vessels will
give more even browning. Dark ones may cause scorching on the base.
For easy viewing and a more even cooking result bring the dishes and trays forward to the
front of the oven shelf.
For even heat circulation ensure that dishes and trays do not touch each other or the sides
of the oven. Best results when baking, roasting and multi level cooking will be obtained by
cooking with the fan in operation.
Best results when baking meringues, pavlovas, souffles and other delicate items will be
obtained by cooking without the fan in operation.
Do not place foil, baking trays, dishes or any other items directly on the base of the oven.
Note: When the oven is operating the glass door will become hot
