Baking

Your built-in oven gives you an outstanding choice of baking options (see ‘Cooking functions’).

Tips for successful baking

Preheat the oven while you prepare your food – many baked items should not be left long before baking.

Read the recipe and assemble the ingredients on the bench before you start.

Use baking paper to line cake pans and biscuit trays, to eliminate the need for greasing. See the ‘Baking chart’ for suggested times, temperature and shelf positions.

For best results use the trays supplied with your oven.

Some foods are best cooked on a particular function (see the ‘Cooking function options’ chart).

FAN BAKE

is great for pastry products such as apple pie and anything that takes less than an

hour to cook.

 

 

When using FAN BAKE

for a recipe that only gives instructions for BAKE you need to lower

the oven temperature slightly (approximately 5-10 oC) and/or reduce the cooking time a little (approximately 10%).

FAN FORCED is the best function for cooking on more than one shelf at a time. Space the shelves evenly in the oven so the hot air can circulate freely.

Bread and rich fruitcakes are best cooked on BAKE . If two shelves of baking are cooked on this function swap them over towards the end of the cooking time (that is, move the upper tray to the lower position and the lower tray to the upper position) so both brown evenly.

Always place baking pans centrally on the oven shelf. If cooking more than one pan on a shelf, space them evenly so the hot air can circulate freely around them. If the pans are large, it may be necessary to swap them around towards the end of the cooking time.

CLASSIC BAKE uses heat from the bottom element only and is perfect for foods with a pastry base such as custard tarts, baked cheesecakes and quiches or anything that doesn’t need to be browned on top. Preheat the oven on FAN FORCED before switching function to CLASSIC BAKE .

Important!

Some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with bread dough during baking. The additional moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a dish on an oven shelf. Do not put it directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor can irreversibly damage the enamel.
