The heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control knob clockwise to the
required temperature as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot
light will immediately come on and will automatically go off and on during cooking
as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a
few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good
seal.
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often
unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding do often
benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The ‘Oven Cooking’ charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking
temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven ie. without
pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking
time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being
cooked.
OVEN POSITIONS
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook
satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm
(15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins),
these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
- Do not fit shelves upside down.
- Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be
restricted.
- Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be
removed from the oven.
