Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation. The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or nonstick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food. Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 23. For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. l l l When more space is required, for example when roasting or casseroling, a straight shelf from the main oven may be placed on the top oven base. Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. l l l There should always be at least 2. 5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc. , place the tins or baking trays centrally below the element. 20 THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN 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 23. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes. BATCH BAKING The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking. SELECTING THE FAN OVEN l Turn the main fan 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. Only use straight shelves in the main oven. THINGS TO NOTE 1) The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.
