gas oven conventional baking
The heat comes from the Bottom Oven burner. The temperature
at the centre of oven is the same temperature set on the
control knob. If oven is used on this mode, shelf position
is important. As hot air naturally rises, the upper half of the
oven will be approximately 10°C higher and the lower half
approximately 10°C cooler than the set temperature.
For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays
and baking dishes on a single shelf refer to ‘Hints’ section
for more information.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
gas oven fan forced baking
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperature than
conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are for
conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended when using
the fan forced mode to reduce the oven temperature by 10°C.
In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner.
Hot air is distributed by an electrically operated fan located
behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even
temperature on all shelf levels. This means batches of the same
food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.
Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking
with equal success.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes before
turning on the fan.
