THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
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.
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.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
lTurn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1.The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.
2.The interior oven light will come ON when the temperature is selected.
3.The cooling fan for the controls may switch in after a time. See page 9 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan.
