Rapid heat-up
With the following programmes:
– Fan Heat
D
– Auto Roast
E
– Conventional
A
either the top element or the fan ele-
ment will come on during the heating
up phase to enable the oven to reach
the required temperature as quickly as
possible.
Food which browns quickly should not
be placed at the top of the oven when
rapid heat up is being used.
The
symbol
U
in the top line of the dis-
play indicates that
Rapid heat-up
is
switched on.
The
p
symbol will appear in the display
for all programmes which do not have
rapid heat-up.
To switch off "rapid heat-up"
Rapid heat-up should not be used for
some items such as biscuits and small
cakes because they will brown too
quickly from the top.
To switch it off:
Call up the
U
symbol.
Reduce the temperature to 100 °C.
The arrow next to the
p
symbol will go
out.
Re-set the temperature to the setting
you want.
"Rapid heat-up" is now switched off for
this particular cooking process.
"Rapid heat-up" is available for the next
programme once the oven function se-
lector has been turned to "0" at the end
of the programme.
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 heat
D
– 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
requred to make the rise quickly.
With
Conventional heating
A
– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long
cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.
Rapid heat-up during the pre-heat-
ing phase should be switched off
when baking delicate items such as
biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise
they will get brown too quickly.
