USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel.  The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel.  The advantages of
fan 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 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 25.  As a guide reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes,
using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

·

 

Turn the Function Selector to Fan Oven.

·

 

Turn the Temperature Control to the required
setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1.  The oven fan will operate continually during

cooking.

2.  The temperature indicator neon will glow until the

oven has reached the desired temperature.  It will
turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.

3.  The oven light operates when the selector is set.

4.  The cooling fan for the controls will operate after

a time.  See page 14 for further details on the
operation of the cooling fan.

5.  If an automatic programme is set the oven fan

and oven light do not come on until the cook time
begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN 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.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until
the shelf stop is reached.  Tilt shelf up at the front so
that the stops clear the side supports.  Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.  Each
shelf position has an upper and lower support wire,
ensure the shelf is placed between these two support
wires.
