The main oven

Batch baking

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan

oven cooking are:

The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels,

especially useful when batch baking.

Preheating

To fit the main oven shelves

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature,

so it is not usually necessary to preheat the

oven. Without preheating however, you may
need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the

recommended cooking times. For recipes

needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,

scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved
if the oven is preheated first. For best results

when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready

meals always preheat the oven first.

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods

uppermost on the frame and the forms towards

the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide

the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is

reached. Tilt shelf up at the front to that the

stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.


Cooking temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower

temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the

cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures

by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes,

using a conventional oven.

Using the main oven

Turn the main oven
temperature control to

the required setting.
