I've never used a fan oven, but I remember being told that soft, fluffy
things like pav or sponge should not be cooked with the fan (at least at
first), as the breeze will blow the delicate mix around. I remember a tray
of cupcakes whose tops all bent sideways from the fan - I forget who made
them.

Good luck
