Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves
are evenly spaced.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place
dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes on
one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow a slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place dishes
on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven base, to
allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal trays of
small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes, then they
will be cooked in the same time and removed from the oven
together. When different sizes of trays or types of food, e.g.
biscuits and cakes are cooked, they will not necessarily be
ready together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls, and
other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-200°C
and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on the quantity of food
in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepared
to adjust the temperature by 10 °C if necessary. Remember
to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own
conventional recipes.

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the
fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air
to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may
find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on
cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures
than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own recipes which use conventional
cooking.

The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions.
This means that batches of the same food can be cooked
in the oven at the same time. However, the top shelf may
brown slightly quicker than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Press the Oven Function Control button and
select the “Fan Cooking” function.
3. If necessary adjust temperature setting using
the “ “ or “ “ buttons.

The oven light will come on when the oven is switched

The cooling fan will operate continually during cooking.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.

NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.
