Operation

Changing the heating-up phase

With the Fan plus, Auto roast and

Conventional heat functions, the

Heating-up phase will appear with the following options:

ß Rapid

(Factory default)

The top heating/grill elements, the ring element and the fan are switched on at the same time so that the oven reaches the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

R shows in the display.

ß Normal

Only the heating elements required for the cooking function selected are switched on; see "Functions".

3 shows in the display.

The Rapid heat-up phase should not be used for some items such as pizza, biscuits and small cakes because they will brown too quickly from the top.

To switch off Rapid heat-up

– For one cooking programme:

Select "Heating-up phase", then

"Normal".

Rapid heat-up is also switched off if a temperature of less than 100 °C is set.

– In general:

See "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 phase.

It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances:

With Fan plus pre-heat the oven:

– pre-heating may be necessary for foods which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastry and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.

– for roasting beef/fillet.

With Conventional heat pre-heat the oven:

– It is usually necessary to pre-heat the oven.

The Rapid heat-up phase should be switched off when baking pizza, biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise they will brown too quickly from the top.

To pre-heat the oven:

^ Select the required function and set the temperature.

^ Wait for the oven to reach the set temperature.

Once the set temperature is reached, an audible tone will sound (provided this is activated - see "Settings -

Volume - Buzzer tones").

^ Then place the food in the oven.
