Using The Fan Gas Oven; Cooking Chart - Electrolux EKG 6704 Instruction Booklet

Using the Fan Gas Oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.
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 temperature, 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 recipes which require higher
temperatures, 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 conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about
20-25°C for your own recipes 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 mixing of flavours
between dishes.

"Using the Gas Oven", steps 1 and 2.
