Removal of the Fan Oven Back Plate

Whether your oven is built in or freestanding, single or double, the first step to take before doing anything else is to remove the ‘back-plate’ from inside the fan oven as shown in Figure 2 above. Elements used to heat fan-assisted ovens are always located at the rear, behind the back plate. Back plates vary in how they are fixed in place, but normally they are held by between 2 and 6 screws.
