Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80˚C - MAX) by turning control (C)
clockwise. The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven
reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on
during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For
guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven
Temperature Charts” later in book.
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
(N.B. Maximum 2 shelves in the main oven).
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven
for cooking.
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS
Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than – 375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)
Baking Trays larger than – 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)
TEMPERATURE & TIME
When two shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.
MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF
position (O). At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam
when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal
characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
