The fan is situated on the back wall of
the oven.
The heating element encircles the fan,
and the fan forces this heat into the
oven, through the sidewalls, creating a
more even temperature than a conven-
tional oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food
and penetrates it more quickly than in a
conventional oven.
The oven can be filled with foods all
requiring the same cooking temperature.
Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every
dish requiring a conventional cooking
time of more than one hour, and to
reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the hotter
the oven, the more heat can be reduced.
Generally, there is no necessary to pre-
heat a fan oven. However, pre-heating
for 5 minutes ensure the best results.
When the fan is turned on and the tem-
perature control set is at 0°C, the oven
can be used for defrosting food.
This is ideal for gelatin based dishes and
softening ice-cream - a microwave oven
is much too strong for these dishes.
Proving yeast based dishes is also
speeded up this way.
If the oven door has been opened, the
fan oven quickly regains its temperature
once the door is closed.
