Changing the heating-up
phase
The "Heating-up phase" option will
appear with the Fan plus, Auto roast
and Conventional functions.
A
rapid heat-up phase
is set as stan-
dard for these functions.
The top and ring heating elements will
come on together with the fan during
the heating-up phase to enable the
oven to reach the required temperature
as quickly as possible.
The rapid heat-up phase should not
be used for some items such as
biscuits and small cakes because
they will brown too quickly from the
top.
If you want to
switch off the rapid
heat-up phase for a cooking process
,
call up the "Heating-up phase" option
and select "Normal".
You can also
switch off the rapid
heat-up phase permanently
. See
"Changing settings - Heating-up
phase".
Pre-heating the oven
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in certain instances.
With
Fan plus
– Pre-heat the oven for foods which
cook in less than 20 minutes and for
foods such as puff pastries and
yeast mixtures where instant heat is
required to make them rise quickly.
With
Conventional heat
– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long
cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.
The rapid heat-up phase should be
switched off when baking delicate
items such as pizza, biscuits and
small cakes. Otherwise they will get
brown too quickly.
