Practical use
Never place aluminium foil, a roasting pan or a shelf directly on the bottom of the oven. If the bottom heater is blocked, the enamel can be damaged by
The oven becomes hot when used,

If the temperature changes and/or the food is placed unevenly, for example pizza, there is a risk that it will warp. The shelf will return to its original form when it cools down.
How do you utilise the various functions when you use the oven? Here is some useful advice and a few tips about the best way to utilise the different oven functions for various types of food preparation:
Baking
Test sponge cakes with a probe about five minutes before the end of the cooking time. Then you have the opportunity to shorten or lengthen the cooking time. The result can be affected by the recipe and the material, colour, shape and size of the cake tin. TOP/ BOTTOM HEATING provides even colouring.
THE HOT AIR PRINCIPLE
An annular heating element round the fan heats up the air, which is then spread through the air channels in the oven rear wall by the fan. The hot air circulates in the oven before it is once again sucked in through the fan grille. Heat is transferred quickly and effectively, and this generally means that you can use a lower oven temperature than with upper and lower heating. Lower the temperature by 15- 20% if the recipe says that you should use a temperature of between 160 and 225°C. The higher the temperature, the greater the decrease. At temperatures over 225°C it is better to use upper and lower heating.
