The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and
two rod shelves.
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting
the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and
230°C (450°F) as recommended in the temperature
chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and
remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. This light will then automatically go off
and on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.
It should be noted that at the end of the 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 door seal.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more
quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is
often unnecessary.However, foods such as bread,
scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being
placed in a pre-heated oven.
The 'oven temperature 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 should
be placed in a cold oven, i.e. 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.
Main Oven
Cookery Notes
Oven positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan
oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily
on any shelf position, but the shelves should be
evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven
when cooking large quantities of food. Additional
shelves can be purchased through your oven
supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts,
back page).
Food or utensils should Never be placed
directly an the floor of the oven for cooking.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven
circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x
300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than
330 x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned
centrally on the oven shelf.
Food should not be placed directly on the floor of
the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod
shelves which are not in use, should be removed
from the oven.
Temperature and time
When all three shelves are used to cook large
quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking times
given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to
allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to
load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking
trays should have an equal gap at either side of the
oven.
Frozen meat and poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing
5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature
(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
