The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used 
AS A GUIDE ONLY. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a 
preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using 
recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10 °C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The 
temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Thoroughly thaw frozen joints before 
cooking. Meat may be roasted at 
220°C (210°C for fan oven) and the 
cooking time adjusted accordingly. 
For stuffed and rolled meats, add 
approximately 10 minutes per 500g, 
or cook at 200°C (190°C) for 20 
minutes then 160°C (150°C) for the 
remainder.
For stuffed poultry, you could cook 
at 200°C (190°C) for 20 minutes 
then 160°C (150°C) for remainder. 
Do not forget to include the weight 
of the stuffing.
For fresh or frozen prepacked 
poultry, follow instructions on the 
pack. Thoroughly thaw frozen 
poultry before cooking.
Using the conventional oven: when 
two tier cooking leave at least one 
runner space between shelves.
Position the baking tray with the 
front edge along the front of the 
oven shelf.

Using the conventional oven: for 
even browning the maximum size of 
baking tray recommended is 340 mm 
x 340 mm. This ensures free heat 
circulation.
If cooking a two tier load, the trays 
should be interchanged 
approximately halfway though the 
cooking time.
Up to three tiers can be cooked in a 
fan oven at the same time but make 
sure to leave at least one runner 
space between each shelf being 
cooked on.
