Fan oven

The oven is heated by elements at the rear of the oven.

A fan at the rear of the oven operates to circulate heated

air within the oven.

! Never line the shelves, floor or the sides of the oven

with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may

result.

DO NOT use the oven without the removable oven

roof in position with its front flange facing

downwards.

Operation

1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.

2. Turn the selector switch to the 'fan oven' position.

3. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required

temperature setting (see Main Oven Temperature

Charts). The oven indicator light will come on and

will remain on until the oven reaches the set

temperature. The oven indicator light will then

automatically cycle on and off during cooking as

the oven temperature is controlled.

4. After use always return both controls to the Off

position and close the oven door.

Fan oven cookery notes

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally

cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional

oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary.

However, foods such as bread, scones Yorkshire

pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated

oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking

temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and

requirements, it may be necessary to increase or

decrease temperatures by 10˚C.

Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we

recommend that when cooking any recipes not

designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature

by about 25˚C and the time by about 10 minutes in

the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be

necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to

compensate for the extra oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is

placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food

is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking

time should be reduced, depending on the type and

quantity of food being cooked.

It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period

there may be a momentary puff of steam when the

oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds

and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven

with a good door seal.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very

even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf

position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger

than 390 x 300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no

larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should

be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

! Do not fit shelves upside down.

! Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air

circulation will be restricted.

! Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on

the floor of the oven.

To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are

not in use should be removed from the oven.
