An even heat isproduced throughout the oven, allowing you tocook large amounts quickly.Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable forbaking on several shelves at one time and is agood ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary toreduce the temperature by approximately 10°Cfor recipes previously cooked in a conventionaloven.If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until theindicator light has gone out before inserting thefood.Fanned grillingThis function operates the fan whilst thetop element is on. It produces a more even,less fierce heat than a conventional grill. Forbest results, place the food to be grilled, on agrid over a roasting tin, which should be smallerthan a conventional grill pan. This allows greaterair circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish areideal for grilling in this way, as the circulatedair reduces the fierceness of the heat from thegrill. The oven door should be kept closed whilstgrilling is in progress, so saving energy. You willalso find that the food needs to be watched andturned less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat thisfunction before cooking.Fan assisted ovenThis function operates the fan, circulatingair heated by the elements at the top and thebase of the oven. The combination of fan andconventional cooking (top and base heat) makesthis function ideal for cooking large items thatneed thorough cooking, such as a large meatroast. It is also possible to bake on two shelvesat one time, although they will need to beswapped over during the cooking time, as theheat at the top of the oven is greater than at thebase, when using this function.This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep aneye on the food cooking until you have becomeaccustomed to this function.
