SWITCH AND TEMPERATURE

SELECTOR

Turn the selector knob (fig. 5.1) to the required function.

OFF as per fig. 5.1

The oven light is switched on.

The fan operates without the heating element, this function can be used for defrosting.

50-250°C

The oven light is switched on. The oven temperature can be set between 50°C - 250°C.

The set temperature has been reached when the temperature indicator light goes off.

Several different meals may be cooked simultaneously on various shelves, as the heated air circu- lates evenly throughout the oven.

The hot air system cooks more quickly than conventional static system, therefore the temperature should be set 15°C - 20°C below the values recommended in your recipe books.

The oven door may be opened briefly while cooking as any heat losses are quickly recovered when the door is closed.

WARNING:

COOKING WITH FORCED AIR

Fan cooking is more economical and quick- er than cooking in a conventional oven.

The moving hot air surrounds the food and penetrates it more quickly than in a conven- tional oven.

The oven can be filled with different dishes all requiring the same cooking temperature. Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish requiring a cooking time of more than 1 hour and reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the hotter the oven, the more the temperature can be reduced.

Generally, there is no need to pre-heat the oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for about 5 minutes to ensure the best results; use the indicator light as a guide, it goes out when the set temperature is reached.

Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based dishes and softening ice cream - a microwave oven is much too strong for these dishes. Cooking yeast based dishes is also speeded up this way. If the oven door has been opened, the oven quickly regains its temperature once the door is closed.
