Using 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 tempera-

ture inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function

are:

lFaster 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.

lLower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower

temperatures than conventional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart

at page 9 or remember to reduce temperatures by

about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use

conventional cooking.

lEven 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.

F 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.

FO 2079

Runner 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 time.

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).

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 by 10°C 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.
