Using the oven

Pre-heating the oven
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in a few instances.
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
Pre-heat the oven when cooking the fol-
lowing food with the following oven
functions:
Fan plus
– dark bread dough
– beef sirloin joints and fillet
Conventional heat
– cakes and biscuits with a short bak-
ing time (up to 30 minutes)
– delicate mixtures (e.g. sponges)
– dark bread dough
– beef sirloin joints and fillet
Rapid heat-up
With Rapid heat-up
the heating up
phase can be shortened.
Do not use Rapid heat-up
to
pre-heat the oven when baking piz-
zas or biscuits and small cakes.
They will brown too quickly on top.
Select Rapid heat-up
.
Select a temperature.
When the temperature indicator
light
goes out for the first time, set
the oven function you require for con-
tinued cooking.
Place the food in the oven.
