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 is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of
the fan oven are cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven.
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. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 27. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C° - 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
·
Turn the Main Oven function selector to Fan
Oven
·
Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
2. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature. It will turn
ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing
that the temperature is being maintained.
3. The oven light operates when the selector is set.
4. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time. See page 14 for further details on the
operation of the cooling fan.
5. If an automatic programme is set, the oven fan
and oven light do not come on until the cook time
begins.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
