FAN FORCED CONVECTION – most commonly used function
In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from behind the fan cover to give a more even
temperature throughout the oven. The even heat provides similar cooking results for each portion
of food. Although temperatures for cooking foods in this type of oven are generally the same as
required by a conventional oven, when cooking foods that require lengthy cooking cycles a fan
forced oven normally cooks more quickly, saving time and energy.
Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one
level, arrange the pan positions to allow for free circulation of heat.
1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select FAN OVEN mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When the cooking is complete turn the oven off.
HINT:
Always preheat the oven when cooking on multiple shelves at the same time.
Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.
FAN GRILL
NOTE: Door must be closed in Fan Grill Mode
Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air which gives the appearance and
flavor similar to rotisserie cooking which is ideal for single level roasts. Direct infrared heat from
the grill element is circulated by the fan to cook the food, which should be positioned as near to
the centre of the oven as possible.
For best cooking results, it is recommended that food be turned once only.
1- Oven door must be closed in Fan grill mode.
2- Place food on grill rack and pan supplied (ensure grill rack is inverted to the high position
to allow best circulation of air) as close to the centre of the oven as possible.
3- Select FAN GRILL mode.
4- Set the oven to the desired temperature. (see note below and refer to FAN GRILL
temperature guide).
5- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.
NOTE:
Large grill pans or roasting dishes can restrict the circulation of air in the oven. To prevent
moisture condensing in the cooler lower sections of the oven, preheat the oven for approximately
10 minutes, using CONVENTIONAL OVEN or HIGH BAKE modes, prior to fan grilling.
NOTE: The temperature setting in FAN GRILL mode must not exceed 200°C. The grill
element has a safety shutdown at approximately 200°C.
