new gas cooker question - fan assisted type

[reneel]

Hi

I'm getting a new gas oven fitted, but this one is apparantly a fanned oven type! Is this the same to operate as a normal type, or is there a special switch to start the fan? Or does it come on on its own? Am just curious as how they work compared to the natural type without fans...

Our oven is fan assisted. It has knobs that you can turn to select normal oven function or fan assisted oven, grill, defrost etc! You can choose to use the fan or not. Personally I like the fan as it gives a more even cooking, browning. Beware though when using fan assisted function you don't need as high temperatures as normal oven functions. So check the recipe first. Good luck

Assuming here that you have bought a Stoves oven........ I am going to be honest with you here, cancel it and get the non-fanned one, theres no real benefit in having a fanned one but if it breaks outside warranty it is likely to cost so much that you will throw it away, if you dont cancel make sure you get it insured.

Yours will be electric, the oven the op is on about is gas, they work very differently with the gas not having the extra features you are on about.
