Main Oven - Fan Cooking
This control switches on the main oven. To select Fan Cooking - Turn thecontrol clockwise and select
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light
will immediately come on.
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside
the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and
off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking. The red main oven thermostat
light will come on until the oven reaches therequired temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven,
around the fan.
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the
need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on morethan one
level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives aneven temperature from the top to the bottom of
the oven.
To use the oven
proceed as follows:
l The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use
should be removed from the oven.
l Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Pre-heating is not normally necessary, but
some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven
(see cooking charts).
l Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the
food.
