The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of the fan oven are cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 ­ 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e. g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc. , best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 27. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. SELECTING DEFROST · · · · Turn the Main Oven Function selector to Defrost · · · The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled. Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, cooking cooling and freezing foods. See Helpful Hints on Buying and Preparing Food on page 33. This function DOES NOT require a temperature setting on the Main Oven Temperature control.

HINTS AND TIPS Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. 22 THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan oven in operation.
