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 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
•Turn the main oven function selector to fan oven. 
•Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
•The oven light will illuminate.
•The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and OFF during use to show that the setting is being maintained.
•The oven fan will operate.
•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.
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.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.
