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 oven cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C° - 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.
