N.B. For fan ovens reduce the temperature by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one hour or over to cook, reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes per hour.

*Shelf positions have been counted from the top of the oven to the base.

A fan oven creates more even temperature throughout, therefore the shelf positions are not as critical.
