Fan cooking
The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel.
The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even
temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function
are:
-
Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature,
it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven
although you may find that you need to allow
an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times. For
recipes which require higher temperatures,
best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
-
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
cooking chart. Remember to reduce
temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your
own recipes which use conventional cooking.
-
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf
positions. This means that batches of the same
food can be cooked in the oven at the same
time. However, the top shelf may brown
slightly quicker than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of
flavours between dishes.
How to use the fan oven
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Press the Oven Function Control button
and select the “Fan Cooking” function.
3. If necessary adjust temperature setting using the
“ “ or “ “ buttons.
Conventional Cooking
- The middle shelf position allows for the best
heat distribution. To increase base browning
simply lower the shelf position. To increase
top browning, raise the shelf position.
- The material and finish of the baking trays
and dishes used will affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils
increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
- Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to
ensure even browning.
- Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the base of the oven
and make cleaning easier.
- Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays
directly on the oven base as it becomes very
hot and damage will occur.When using this
setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom
elements. This allows you to cook on a single
Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and
damage the oven enamel. Always place
pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium
trays on the shelf which has been inserted
in the shelf runners.When food is heated,
steam is created, like in a kettle. When the
steam comes into contact with the glass in
the oven door, it condenses and creates
water droplets.
To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.
Always cook with the oven door
closed. Stand clear when opening the
oven door.
