The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. 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
•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 top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.
