Fan cooking

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 advantages of cooking with this function are:

-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 top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower one.

This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.

How to use the fan oven

1.Switch the oven on.

2.Select the fan cooking function by pressing the

Oven function control until the symbol appears in the display.

3.If necessary adjust temperature setting using the ““ or “ “ controls.

Conventional Cooking

-The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

-The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

-Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

-Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier.

-Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as quiches and flans.

Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven.

How to use the conventional oven

1.Switch the oven ON.

2.Select the conventional cooking function by pressing the Oven function control until the

symbol appears in the display.

3.If necessary adjust temperature setting using the ““ or “ “ controls.

Top heating element

This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese

etc.
