The ‘Slow’ Setting Your fan oven has a ‘slow cooking’ facility. This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Some advantages of slow cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking. Fully loading the oven can be very economical. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours for latecomers. The kitchen stays cooler.
Using The ‘Slow’ Setting Points to bear in mind when preparing food: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 1. Storage and Re-heating of food 2. 3. 4. 26 Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow’ setting should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases.

Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND. Hob Surround Gas Pan Supports and Gas Burner Discs Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads.
Care and Cleaning Ovens Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the ovens. How ‘Stayclean’ Works The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220oC (425oF) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
Cooking Results Not Satisfactory? Problem Check Grilling Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Fan Oven Baking Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting and that the grill pan is not lined with foil. Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting the wheels/feet. The oven should be checked both left to right and front to back.
