USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature
so it 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 33 until you are familiar with the lower
temperatures associated with Fan oven
cooking. As a guide reduce temperatures by
20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
HOW TO USE THE FAN OVEN
1. Push out and turn the Selector to Fan oven.
2. Push out and turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven light will come on when the

the operation of the cooling fan.
The control surrounds will illuminate. The
oven indicator neon will turn on and off during
cooking to show that the temperature is being
maintained.

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