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 advantage of cooking with this function is energy saving through:

✓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 chart at page. 12. 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.

☞1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

2.Turn the thermostat control to the required temperature.

THINGS TO NOTE

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

•The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.

The cooling fan

During cooking the cooling fan will operate continually. It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the oven has only been used for a short time.
