N.B. For fan ovens reduce the temperature
by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one hour
or over to cook, reduce the cooking time by
10 minutes per hour.
* Shelf positions have been counted from
the top of the oven to the base.
A fan oven creates more even temperatu-
re throughout, therefore the shelf positions
are not as critical.
