COOKING WITH FORCED AIR
Fan cooking is more economical and quick-
er than cooking in a conventional oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food and
penetrates it more quickly than in a conven-
tional oven.
The oven can be filled with different dishes
all requiring the same cooking temperature.
Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish
requiring a cooking time of more than 1 hour
and reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the hotter
the oven, the more the temperature can be
reduced.
Generally, there is no need to pre-heat the
oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for
about 5 minutes to ensure the best results;
use the indicator light as a guide, it goes out
when the set temperature is reached.
Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based dish-
es and softening ice cream - a microwave
oven is much too strong for these dishes.
Cooking yeast based dishes is also speed-
ed up this way. If the oven door has been
opened, the oven quickly regains its tem-
perature once the door is closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

50-250°C
The oven light is switched on.
The oven temperature can be set
between 50°C - 250°C.
The set temperature has been
reached when the temperature
indicator light goes out.
Several different meals may be
cooked simultaneously on various
shelves, as the heated air circu-
lates evenly throughout the oven.
The hot air system cooks more
quickly than conventional static
system, therefore the tempera-
ture should be set 15°C - 20°C
below the values recommended
in your recipe books.
The oven door may be opened
briefly while cooking as any heat
losses are quickly recovered
when the door is closed.
