An ILVE fan forced gas oven has the
base burner situated under the oven
floor. The advantage of ILVE’s fan
forced gas oven is that the heat is
distributed evenly throughout, which
makes it ideal for batch baking.
however, the lower shelf is the
hottest when baking so experiment
with different shelf positions to obtain
the best results.
The thermostat in ILVE gas ovens is
mechanical; it operates on a different
system than electric ovens. There
is no indicator light on the front of
the panel of the upright to show
you when the oven has reached
the correct temperature, however
the gas oven heats up fairly quickly
due to the powerful gas burner at
the base of the oven. A moderate
to hot temperature in gas ovens is
175°c. You cannot switch between
the mode of cooking in the gas oven
like you can in the electric – if you are
cooking on the fan forced and then
wish to use the grill then you must
start again and activate the electric
grill element.
Cakes
cook cakes on the third shelf
from the top on fan forced at
approximately 150°c. This will give
the cake a great colour and texture.
Biscuits
If doing more than one tray of
biscuits at a time then use the top
three levels only. The bottom shelf in
oven is far to close to the burner and
biscuits will burn underneath. cook
your biscuits at 140°c on fan forced
so they cook evenly.
Muffins
cook at 175°c on the third shelf from
the top of the oven on fan forced.
Muffins cook very well in the gas
oven with a great texture and very
even colour .
Roasting
cook at 175°c on fan forced for
half an hour per 500g. The gas oven
is fantastic for roasting – the meat
tends to be very moist and browns
very well. Best cooked on the ILVE
baking tray.
Grilling
grilling must be done on the second
level from the top of the oven; the top
level is too close to the grill.
