The Right Hand Oven
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster more even
cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a
fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.
Both Ovens
Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 230°C
and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure
the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows or turning on a cooker hood, for
example.
Please remember that all cookers vary -
temperatures in your new Falcon ovens may diff er
to those in your previous cooker.
The wire shelves should always be pushed fi rmly to
the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep all
trays and containers away from the sides of the
oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 340mm by 340mm.
Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’,
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t
leave the door open for longer
than necessary, otherwise the
knobs may get very hot.
Always leave a ‘fi ngers width’
between dishes on the same
shelf; this allows the heat to circulate freely around
them.
The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.
Cover meat when cooking.
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before placing
the dish in the centre of the tray.
Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Steam
When cooking foods with high water content (e.g.
oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the
grille at the rear of the hotplate. This is perfectly
normal.
Oven shelves
The cooker is supplied with a deluxe oven tray.
A deluxe oven tray.
The deluxe oven tray has a support grid or trivet
so that it can be used for grilling as well as normal
oven cooking.
Deluxe oven tray trivet.
Each oven is also supplied with two diff erent
shelves.
A fl at shelf
And a drop shelf.
The drop shelf increases the possibilities for oven
shelf spacing.
The deluxe tray slides in and out easily - take care
when pulling it forward that it does not become
unstable or slide out of the grooves in the side of
the oven.
The other oven shelves have an end stop and so
cannot be accidental pulled out; but they can be
easily removed and refi tted.
