Always cook with the oven
door closed.
When cooking with the fan gas
oven, leave the lid open in
order to avoid overheating.
The air inside the oven is heated
by the gas burner and the fan
circulates hot air to maintain an
even temperature inside the oven.
The advantage of cooking with this
function is energy saving through:
Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches tem-
perature, it is not usually necessary to
preheat the oven although you may
find that you need to allow an extra 5-
7 minutes on cooking times. For reci-
pes which require higher tempera-
tures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, souffles, etc.
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conven-
tional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recom-
mended in the cooking chart. Re-
member to reduce temperatures by
about 20°C-25°C for your own reci-
pes which use conventional cooking.
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on
all shelf positions. This means that
batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the bottom shelf may brown
slightly quicker than the upper one.
This is quite usual. There is no mix-
ing of flavours between dishes.
To use the Fan Gas Oven:
1. Light the oven gas burner as
described in "Using the Gas
Oven", steps 1 and 2.
2. Upon ignition, turn the "Light-
Grill & Fan" control knob to
position .
The oven fan will start as soon
as the oven cavity reaches the
required cooking temperature.
