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 cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C° -
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 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 cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
• The oven fan will operate.
• 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.
