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 fan cooking are:

Faster Preheating

As the 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 soufflés etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires temperatures 20-25°C lower than conventional cooking.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has even heating on all shelf positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. There is no mixing of flavours.

Please note that shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.
