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 advantage of cooking with this function is
energy saving through:
l
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.
l
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures
by about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf
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 temperatu-
re.
Things to note
• The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.
• The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
The cooling fan
During cooking the cooling fan will operate continually.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.
The Fan Oven
Hints and Tips
- Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.
- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
- When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time
and removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes
are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready
together.
- The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).
- The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature, if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own conventional recipes.
- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below
and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also
prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
