USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the
oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of
fanned oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 17. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
• Turn the oven/grill control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven/grill indicator light will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
• The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
