THE MAIN 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 cooking chart. 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.

USING THE MAIN OVEN

The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme.

Press the Oven Cavity selector until the main oven cavity is illuminated.

Press the Function selector or until the Fan Oven Cooking neon is illuminated.

Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed. The temperature will automatically set to 150°C.

If you wish to alter the set temperature, you may

-or + until the requireddo so by pressing

temperature setting is reached.

To switch off a function simply press the Function selector once. The function neon will go out and the display will return to the time of day.

THINGS TO NOTE

The oven light will illuminate.

The heat indicator neons will flash until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then stop, an audible signal will sound. When the oven has been switched off the bars that are still lit indicate the remaining residual heat in the oven.

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

If an automatic programme has been set, the oven fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.

Some internal noise may be heard during operation. This is quite normal.
