USING THE FAN OVEN

The Fan Oven

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 advantages of cooking with this function

are:

Faster Preheating

Because

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,

temperatures, best results are achieved if the

oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,

scones, souffles, etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower

temperatures than conventional cooking.

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 runner

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 that 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 knob to the

required temperature.

HINTS AND TIPS

Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure

the shelves are evenly spread.

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 times.

A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven.

Place dishes on a shelf in this position rather

than on the oven base, to allow air circulation

around the food.

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).

Only experience will enable you to determine

the correct settings for your personal cooking

needs. The temperatures are intended as a

guide only. It may be necessary to increase or

decrease the temperature to suit your individual

requirements.

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness,

conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way

they transmit heat to the food inside them:

Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware

and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and

base browning.

Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured

exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase

cooking and base browning.

Defrosting

The defrosting function allows you to defrost

frozen foods. The oven fan operates without

heat and circulates the air, at room temperature,

inside the oven. This increases the rate at which

defrosting takes place.

This function is particularly suitable for delicate

food which could be damaged by heat, e.g.

cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries,

bread and other yeast products.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or

plastic film to prevent drying out during

defrosting.

• Small or thin pieces of fish fillet or peeled

prawns, mince, liver and thin chops will

defrost in 1-2 hours. Ensure that they are

cooked or refrigerated immediately after

defrosting to maintain good food hygiene.

• Place the frozen food a single layer where

possible, and turn it over half way through

the defrosting process.

• DO NOT leave food at room temperature once

it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or

store cooked food in the fridge.

• Take care to follow the basic rules for

hygiene when handling fresh, frozen, raw

and cooked foods.

Main pilot light

This light will illuminate when the oven function

control knob or any of the hotplate knobs are

turned on and remains lit while these are in

use.
