THE FAN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

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 27 and in the recipes given in the cookbook supplied with the cooker. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own conventional oven recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels.
