THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The 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. 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.
recommended in the chart on page 22. 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 all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
·
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelf 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.
