VENTITHERM ® PRECISION FAN COOKING
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may 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 cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by 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.

THINGS TO NOTE
The oven light will illuminate.
The heat indicator neons will flash until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then stop, an audible signal will sound. When the oven has been switched off the bars that are still lit indicate the remaining residual heat in the oven.
If it is necessary to reach the required temperature in a shorter time, the Speedcook Function can be used. See Speedcook Function section.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.
If an automatic programme has been set, the oven fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.
Some internal noise may be heard during operation. This is quite normal.
