Electrolux 948, 949 THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven

and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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 m inutes on the recommended cooking times. For

recipes needing high temperatures e.g. bread, pastries, scon es, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven

is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready m eals always preheat the oven

first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures t han conventional cooking. Follow the temperatur es

recommended in the chart on page 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C f or your own recipes,
