An even heat is producedthroughout the oven, allowing you to cook largeamounts quickly.Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for bakingon several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce thetemperature by approximately 10°C for recipespreviously cooked in a conventional oven.If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until theindicator light has gone out before inserting thefood.Fanned grilling in the ovenThis function operates the fan whilst the topelement is on. It produces a more even, less fierceheat than a conventional grill. For best results, placethe food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin,which should be smaller than a conventional grillpan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick piecesof meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, asthe circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heatfrom the grill.
