SELECTING THE FAN OVEN · · Turn the Main Oven function selector to Fan Oven Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to the required setting. TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. THINGS TO NOTE 1. The oven fan will operate continually during cooking. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained. The oven light operates when the selector is set. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. See page 14 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan. If an automatic programme is set, the oven fan and oven light do not come on until the cook time begins. 20 HINTS AND TIPS · · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards. DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position. · When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time. · The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart, see page 27. · · It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary. 21 DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This function enables you to defrost most foods faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e. g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc. , can be thawed in 1 ­ 2 hours. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function. ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING. ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING. It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. [. . . ] If the selector is set to `O' and the oven temperature control to a setting the main oven neon will illuminate and the cooling fan will operate. This is not a fault. 37 SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS In the event of your appliance requiring service, or if you wish to purchase spare parts, please contact your local Service Force Centre by telephoning:- 0870 5 929929 Your telephone call will be automatically routed to the Service Force Centre covering your post code area.
