[. . . ] Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards. Operating Procedure 1. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see oven temperature charts). The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled. After use always return both controls to the off position and close the oven door. 26 Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25°C and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load. Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i. e. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked. It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal. Oven Positions Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced: To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted. Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven. 27 Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes Temperature and Time The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts & Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further information. If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven. To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your Fan Oven (a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. (b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time. (c) Place meat/poultry in the main oven meat pan supplied with your cooker.
