Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking

Step 1

Check that the timer is in manual.

Step 2

Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.

Step 3

Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Step 4

Select the required cooking temperature (80˚C - MAX) by turning control (C) 
clockwise. The pilot light (

● 

) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven 

reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on 
during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

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 book.

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most  foods  will  cook  satisfactorily  on  any  shelf  position,  due  to  even  distribution  of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

(N.B. Maximum 2 shelves in the main oven).

Food  or  utensils  should  never be  placed  directly  on  the  floor  of  the  oven
for cooking.

MAIN OVEN UTENSILS

Do Not Use:

Meat Pans larger than

–

375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)

Baking Trays larger than

–

325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When two 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.

MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION

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 main oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.

Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF 
position (O).  At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam 
when the door is opened.  This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal 
characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
