Hints and Tips
Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves
are evenly space .
When cooking more than one ish in the fan oven, place
ishes centrally on the shelves rather than several ishes
on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may nee to allow a slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be place on the floor of the oven. Place
ishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven
base, to allow air circulation aroun the foo .
When the oven is full of the same foo , e.g. equal trays
of small cakes or equal size victoria san wich cakes,
then they will be cooke in the same time an remove
from the oven together. When ifferent sizes of trays or
types of foo , e.g. biscuits an cakes are cooke , they
will not necessarily be rea y together.
The fan oven can be use to heat foo s through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
an other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-
200°C an allow 20-40 minutes ( epen ing on the quantity
of foo in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommen ations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepare
to a just the temperature by 10°C if necessary.
Remember to re uce temperatures by about 20-25°C for
your own conventional recipes.
The meat tin shoul not be place on a heate hotplate
or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.
The Fan Oven
The air insi e the oven is heate by the element aroun
the fan situate behin the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature insi e the oven.
The a vantages of cooking with this function are:
l
Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may fin that you nee to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieve if the oven
is preheate first, e.g. brea , pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
l
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommen e in the
cooking chart. Remember to re uce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf
positions. This means that batches of the same foo
can be cooke 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 ishes.
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Press the Oven Function Control button once.
3. If necessary a just temperature setting using
the "Increase" or "Decrease" buttons.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven light will come on when the oven is switche
on.
l
The cooling fan will operate continually uring cooking.
It may run on after the oven is switche off to keep
the controls cool. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will epen on how long the
oven has been use an at what temperature. It may not
switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been use for a short time.
