Hot air
The food is cooked by means of pre-
heated air force-blown evenly round the in-
side of the oven by a fan set on the rear wall
of the oven itself.
The heat reaches all parts of the oven
evenly and fast. This means that you can
simultaneously cook different types of food
positioned on the various oven shelves.
The advantages of cooking with this
function are:
- Faster preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches tem-
perature, it is not usually necessary to pre-
heat 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-assisted cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional
cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended
in the cooking chart. Remember to reduce
temperatures for top and bottom heat by
about 20-25 ºC for your own conventional
recipes.
- 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 absolutely normal. There is no
flavour transference between dishes.
How to use the fan oven
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Press the cooking functions button
