The Fan Oven
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.
The advantages of cooking with this function
are:
Faster Preheating
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.
Lower Temperatures
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.
Even Heating for Baking
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.
