THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating, however, you may find you 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 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 chart on page 21. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1.The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.
2.The cooling fan for the controls may switch in after a time. See page 9 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan.
