THE MAIN OVEN
USING THE MAIN 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 is
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 cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C –
25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional
oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
USING THE MAIN OVEN
•
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
•
The oven light will illuminate.
•
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
•
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time.
•
The oven fan will operate.
•
If an automatic programme has been set, the
oven light will not come on until cooking begins.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.
