Zanussi ZBM 879 manual Fan Oven, Things to Note

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:

λFaster 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.

λLower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart at page 18. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.

λEven 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.

Φ1. Switch the oven on.

2.Press the Oven Function Control button once.

3.If necessary adjust temperature setting using the "Increase" or "Decrease" buttons.

THINGS TO NOTE

λThe oven light will come on when the oven is switched on.

λThe cooling fan will operate continually during cooking. 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 on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the oven has only been used for a short time.
