Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on "pre-heating", "cooking temperatures" and "cooking times" see "Oven Temperature Charts" later in book.
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced. The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS
Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than Baking Trays larger than 375mm x 300mm (15"x12") 325mm x 250mm (13"x10")
TEMPERATURE & TIME
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

TIMER
C
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Check that the timer is in manual. Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts. Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed. Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise. The pilot light ( q ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O) position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Fan Only
FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb. ) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb. ). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door. Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the setting.
Fan Only
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type and size of the food.
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods. If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin. The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting. Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz). It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

LIGHT ONLY SETTING
