Fanbake oven.

We have just moved into a new house and found the oven only operates on fanbake and grill.Quite honestly I have never encountered such a oven.Question is when cooking or more in particular baking does one shorten the cooking time or turn down the oven down or both.Your comments would be appreciated. ( I made a lasagne and the pasta turned out like cardboard!)

When cooking on fan bake reduce the temperature by 20C

Yes reduce temp and sometimes shorter cooking time as F/B is a more even heat round oven. Great for scones,pastry, anything hot and quick. I found making goodies on trays biscuits etc can cook 2 trays at once but change them over half way. With the roast, when you take meat out rev up the temp for nice crispy roast vegs. This is with a conventional oven and switch to use fan if you want love it. For a Fan oven only ,google the make and model and find a instruction manual to read as it may be set different again.
