THE MAIN FAN OVEN
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven 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.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 21. 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.
USING THE FAN OVEN
1. Pop out and turn the function selector to fan
oven.
2. Pop out and turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
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.
l
The function selector neon will glow.
l
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
l
The cooling fan for the controls operates after a
period of time.
l
The internal oven light will come on.
l
If an automatic programme has been set the
oven fan and light do not come on until cooking
begins.
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.
USING THE TELESCOPIC RUNNERS
(where fitted)
1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back
into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf.
2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both
hands, place the rear shelf forms over the
telescopic runners.
3. Slide the shelf into position, lifting slightly at the
front so that the shelf locates into the retaining
hooks.
To remove, raise the front edge and withdraw
the shelf.
Ensure the shelf is positively located before using.
Note
Should you wish to purchase a telescopic runner
kit, this can be ordered from your local AEG
Service Centre by quoting part number (BAZD01)
