Using the Main Oven
for Fan Cooking
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly
and generally cooks food at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often
unnecessary. For guides on "pre-heating", "cooking
temperatures" and "cooking times" see "Oven
Temperature Charts" later in book.
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal
taste and requirements, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. It
may also be necessary to increase or decrease
cooking times.
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf
position, due to even distribution of heat in the main
oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven
when cooking large quantities of food. (N.B.
Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).
Food or utensils should never be placed directly
on the floor of the oven for cooking.
DO NOT allow young children near to the
appliance when the main oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS
DO NOT Use:
Meat Pans larger than-375mm x 300mm (15"x12")
Baking Trays larger than-325mm x 250mm (13"x10")
TEMPERATURE & TIME
When two shelves are in use to cook large quantities
of food, it may be necessary to increase the cooking
times given in the temperature charts by a few
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra
time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of
food. Baking trays should have an even gap around
the oven.

MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION
Step 1
Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2
Place the shelf/shelves in the correct
position (see Main Oven Temperature
Charts.
Step 3
Place the food centrally on the shelf
ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 4
Select the required cooking temperature
(80°C - MAX) by turning control (C)
clockwise. The pilot light (
•
) will
immediately come on, and remain on until
the oven reaches the required temperatu-
re. The light will then automatically go off
and on during cooking as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct tempera-
ture.
Note: When you have finished using your cooker,
always return the controls to their OFF position
(O). At the end of the cooking period there may
be a momentary puff of steam when the door is
opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and
is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven
with a good door seal.
