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).
