Hints and Tips
Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow a
slightly longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven.
Place dishes on a shelf in this position rather than
on the oven base, to allow air circulation around
the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes, then they will be cooked in
the same time and removed from the oven together.
When different sizes of trays or types of food, e.g.
biscuits and cakes are cooked, they will not
necessarily be ready together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for
oven temperatures given in the cooking charts, but
be prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.
