USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR FAN COOKING

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).

Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.

MAIN OVEN UTENSILS

Do Not Use:

Meat Pans larger than

375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)

 

Baking Trays larger than

325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION

❍ ❍

MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE & FUNCTION CONTROL

C

TIMER

Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.

Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts. Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise. The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O) position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
