COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.5 Fan Oven
In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from an element concealed behind the fan cover to give more even
temperature throughout the oven. When cooking more than one tray of food on multiple shelves the even heat
provides similar cooking results throughout each portion of food. Temperatures for cooking foods in this oven
mode are generally the same as required by a conventional oven, however, when cooking foods that require
lengthy cooking cycles a fan forced oven normally cooks more quickly, saving both time and energy (e.g. rich fruit
cakes and large roasts).
Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one level, stagger the
positioning to allow for as much free circulation of heat within the oven as possible.
Using Fan Oven Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select Fan Oven on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
HINT: Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time. Depending on the food, you may need
to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.
After cooking is complete the oven will retain heat for a period of time after being turned off. The retained heat can
be used to dry foods or to keep food warm prior to serving. Examples of foods that may be dried are breadcrumbs,
herbs or fruit. To prevent heat loss when using the oven in this way do not leave the oven door open or open the
door too often. Also remember to remove food from the oven to prevent spoilage.
