AEG 3007VNM-M manual Preheating, Hint

PREHEATING

Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods, particularly cakes and pastry, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, for example casseroles, cook just as well when cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking times.

For faster preheating select pizza mode and the required temperature and once the oven has reached the required level change to cooking mode/function for the task.

To preheat the oven:

1- Set the mode required for preheating.

2- Set the oven to the desired temperature.

Preheating guide (for 180°C settings)

Cooking Mode	Preheat Time
CONVENTIONAL	15-20 MINUTES
OVEN
FAN OVEN	15-20 MINUTES

NOTE:

Any food or other cooking utensils placed in the oven during preheating will affect the preheating time. The preheat time may also vary with installations.

WARNING

When using an alternative cooking mode for fast preheat, be sure to turn the cooking mode to your required setting before placing food in the oven.

HINT:

To allow for heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20°C higher and then reduce the temperature to your required cooking temperature.

Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
