Creda CB01E - Manual (Page 19)

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 this
book.
Oven shelf positioning for fan oven
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for
cooking as air circulation is restricted.
Oven utensils
Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)
An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one is
required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.
Temperature and time
If three 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.
Using the Oven for Fan Cooking

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 oven is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot.
