Fan Cooking
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:
z
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.
z
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.

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.
- 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.
How to use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required
temperature.
Things to note
• The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.
• 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.
