Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on „pre-heating”, „cooking temperatures” and „cooking times” see „Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

(N.B. Maximum 2 shelves in the main oven).

Food or utensils should never be placed directly on	GB
the floor of the oven for cooking.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance
when the main oven is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot.
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS
Do Not Use:
Meat Pans larger than375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)
Baking Trays larger than325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)
TEMPERATURE & TIME
When two shelves are in use to cook large quantities
of food, it may be necessary to increase the cooking
times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes,
to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to
load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking
trays should have an even gap around the oven.

MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION

Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.

Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct posi- tion (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.

Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensu- ring the oven door is fully closed.

Step 4 Select the required cooking temperatu- re (80°C - MAX) by turning control (C) clockwise. The pilot light (∙) will imme- diately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF position

(O). At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
