The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. 
It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the 
oven.  It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of 
food.  It gives especially good results if used to cook 
fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. 
The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming 
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.  
Use the second oven when you want to warm plates.  
Use the lowest setting on the second oven 
temperature control.

15  HINTS AND TIPS 
• Single level cooking gives best results.  If you 
require more than one level of cooking use the 
main fan oven. 
• The middle shelf allows for the best heat 
distribution.  To increase base browning simply 
lower the shelf position. To increase top 
browning raise, the shelf position. 
• There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) 
between the top of the food and the grill element.  
This gives best cooking results and allows room 
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc....

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 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...

 
18  TO FIT THE MAIN FAN OVEN SHELVES 
 
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods 
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the 
back of the oven. 
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until 
the shelf stop is reached.  Tilt shelf up at the front so 
that the stops clear the side supports.  Lift shelf clear.  
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.  Each 
shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, 
ensure the shelf is placed between these two support 
wires....
