using the electric oven Electric oven fan forced baking In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches of the same food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously. Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success. Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperature than conventional baking.
general hints and tips Hints general • For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes. • T he material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will affect the foods baked, especially base browning. • E namelware, anodised aluminium, darkbake ware or non-stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining or reducing the baking time and increase base browning. • W hereas, ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors of heat.
cleaning the oven Oven • Make sure oven knobs are in the off position. • Clean immediately after use, a warm oven is easier to clean. • U se detergent and hot water (and household ammonia/ cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. • Remove shelves when cleaning oven. • I f there is a build-up of grease, place a small oven proof dish containing ¼ cup (62mL) household ammonia/cloudy ammonia and ¾ cup (187mL) water in the oven.
