The heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control knob clockwise to the
required temperature as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will
immediately come on and will automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff
of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a
perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good seal.
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods
such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding do often benefit from being placed in a pre-
heated oven.
The charts on pages 15 and 16 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking tempera-
tures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase
or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven ie. without pre-
heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be
reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.
OVEN POSITIONS
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfac-
torily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15ins x 12ins)
and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned
centrally on the oven shelf.
-
Do not fit shelves upside down.
-
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted.
-
Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.
-
An additional shelf can be purchased through your cooker supplier or Cannon
Genuine Parts and Accessories (see KEY CONTACTS back page).
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed
from the oven.
