THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE MAIN 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 circulates in 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. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperature recommended in the chart on page 18. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE MAIN FAN OVEN

￿Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1.The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

2.The interior oven light will come ON when the main oven control is turned.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
