VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED COOKING
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
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 preheat the oven first.
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 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes, using a
conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
USING VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED COOKING
•
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
•
The oven light will illuminate.
•
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
•
The oven fan will operate.
•
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
•
If an automatic programme has been set, the
oven fan and light do not come on until cooking
begins.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves 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 so
that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each
shelf position has an upper and lower support wire,
ensure the shelf is placed between these two support
wires.
