Set the function knob on the / symbol and use the thermostat knob to select the temperature between 50°C and 250°C.

Fan oven cooking generally requires a lower temperature than conventional cooking.

The fan oven has even heating on all runner positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time.

However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.
