Main Oven (Fan Oven)
29
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most
foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position,but the shelves should
be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large
quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your
oven supplier or Creda Spares.
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the
oven for cooking.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be
seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larg-
er than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x
255mm (13”x 10”),these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid
unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be
removed from the oven.
When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home
freezing or parties,it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in
the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to
extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays
should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a
domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room
temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
