the bake/fan option blows hot air directly across what's cooking and always seemed to cook just the top first
leaving the center 'undone'.
My DeLonghii stove blows from the right side across the food so I formed a 'deflector' of aluminum foil that directs the hot air up towards the top of the oven. Formed the foil so it's held in place by the wire rack/pan against the wall when I slide the food into the oven.
Much better results that way.
