St George DEO2B - Fan Oven

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.8 Fan Oven
In this mode the oven fan circulates
heat from an element concealed behind the fan cover
to give more even
temperature throughout the oven. When cooking more than one tray of food on multiple
shelves the even heat
provides similar cooking results throughout each portion
of food. Temperatures for cooking foods in this oven
mode are generally the same
as required by a conventional oven, however, when cooking foods that require
lengthy
cooking cycles a fan forced oven normally cooks more quickly,
saving both time and energy (e.g. rich fruit
cakes and large roasts).
Always place the food as near to the centre of
the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one level, stagger
the
positioning to allow for as much free circulation of
heat within the oven as possible.
Using Fan Oven Mode
1. Adjust
oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select Fan Oven on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to
the desired temperature.
4. When
cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat
off.
HINT,
Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same
time. Depending on the food, you may need
to rearrange the tray positions
during cooking.
After cooking is complete the oven will retain
heat for a period of time after being turned off. The retained heat
can
be used to dry foods or to keep food warm prior to serving.
Examples of foods that may be dried are breadcrumbs,
herbs or fruit. To prevent heat
loss when using the oven in this way do not leave the oven door open or open the
door too often. Also remember to
remove food from the oven to prevent spoilage.
