The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel. The
fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature
inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function are:

Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutes on cooking times. For recipes which
require higher temperatures, best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart
on page 16. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25

°

C for your own recipes which use

conventional cooking.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.

How to Use the Fan Oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to 

.

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempe-
rature.

THINGS TO NOTE

The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.

The thermostat control light will remain on until
the correct temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show that temperature is being
maintained.
