USES OF THE FAN OVEN

PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat th e 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, souf flés etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals al ways preheat the
oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than convent ional 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, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

Turn the fan oven temperature control to the required
setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The fan oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the required 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 cooking fan.

TO FIT THE FAN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
