Using the Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function are:

Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recommended in the

cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use

conventional cooking.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform 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.

How to Use the Fan Oven

Turn the oven function control knob to the required temperature.

THINGS TO NOTE

The oven light will come on when the oven function control knob is set.

The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show that temperature is being maintained.
