THE MAIN FAN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.

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 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 cooked 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 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

USING THE FAN OVEN

1.Pop out and turn the function selector to fan oven.

2.Pop out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

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.

The function selector neon will glow.

The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.

The cooling fan for the controls operates after a period of time.

lThe internal oven light will come on.

If an automatic programme has been set the oven fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.
