1. 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 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.
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. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected. Only
use straight shelves in 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 find you 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 18. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
