Food is cooking too quickly
Are you using a fan function?
When using a fan function you should reduce the cooking
temperature by 20°C, when comparing it to conventional
cooking. Please see the cooking charts for temperatures.
Are you using the Quick start function?
Quick start is not suitable as a cooking function; it is only
for pre-heating the oven. Once the oven has reached
temperature you should change over to your required
cooking function.
Food is not cooking evenly
All fan ovens cook more at the rear right, if you are only
cooking on one shelf.
Either
Batch cook on more than one shelf.
OR
Add an extra shelf with a empty tin roughly the same size,
underneath the shelf you are using to cook.
This will allow the air to circulate correctly through the oven.
Also:
On fan ovens you can open the door and turn the baking
without the food sinking. This is due to the fast regain heat of
the oven.
The grill in the oven is slow
Have you selected the correct function?
Check that you have selected the grill function and not the
top element. Remember the grill only grills when the orange
lamp on the facia is illuminated.
The fan continues after the oven is
turned off
The cooling fan will run on intermittently for approximately
30 minutes after the oven is switched off to keep the controls
cool, this is totally normal.
