THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.
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 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 temperatures recommended in the chart on page 27. As a guide reduce temperatures by 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 FAN OVEN
Turn the main oven function selector to fan oven.
Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
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 oven temperature is being maintained.
The oven fan will operate continually during cooking. The cooling fan for the controls operates after a period of time.
The internal oven light will come on.
If an automatic programme has been set the oven fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.
