HOT AIR COOKING
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food. The advantages of fan 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 always 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 about 20°C – 25°C
for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
USING HOT AIR COOKING
•
The oven must be switched on ( ) before
setting any cooking function or programme.
•
Press the Oven Cavity selector until the main
oven cavity indicator is illuminated.
•
Press the Function selector until the Hot Air
Cooking neon is illuminated.
•
Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed.
The temperature will automatically set to 180°C.
•
If you wish to alter the set temperature, you may
do so by pressing or
until the required
temperature setting is reached.
•
To switch off a function simply press the Function
selector once. The function neon will go out and
the display will return to the time of day.
THINGS TO NOTE
•
The interior-lighting will illuminate.
•
The heat indicator neons will flash until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then
stop, an audible signal will sound. When the
oven has been switched off the bars that are still
lit indicate the remaining residual heat in the
oven.
•
If it is necessary to reach the required
temperature in a shorter time, the Fast Heat
Function can be used. See Fast Heat Function
section.
•
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
•
If an automatic programme has been set, the
oven fan and interior-lighting do not come on until
cooking begins.
•
Some internal noise may be heard during
operation. This is quite normal.
