Cooking guide
11
This TURBOFAN oven will cook a greater quantity of food faster, at a lower temperature and more evenly
than an ordinary oven. As many excellent recipe books are published, it is not our intention to list recipes,
but to provide a temperature and time chart as a guide.
When the door is opened the fan will switch off but elements will remain on to provide quick heat recovery.
A high powered top element is fitted for toasting or broiling.
Baking
Select a temperature up to 20°C (35°F) lower than used in a conventional oven and preheat until
HEATING indicator goes out. When the HEATING indicator goes out, the oven has reached the
desired temperature and food may be placed in the oven allowing air space between cooking
utensils and around the oven walls.
The following are only approximate guides - use your judgement.
