Baking

The following settings are recommended for baking:

Fan Heat D

Conventional A

Bakeware

For the best baking results make sure that you chose bakeware in a material suitable for the particular heating system.

Fan Heat D

Most types of heat-resistant tins or dishes are suitable, including thin-walled and bright, non-reflective metal tins. Place the tin or dish on the baking tray in the oven, with the sloping edge of the tray towards the door.

Conventional A

The following baking tins give an evenly browned result: Dark metal, aluminium or enamel tins with a matt finish are preferable. Heat resistant glass dishes can also be used.

Avoid bright, shiny metal tins. These reflect heat which means that the heat does not penetrate to the food effectively and will result in uneven or poor browning. In some cases the cakes might not cook properly. Place the tin or dish directly on the non-tip rack in the oven. Use one shelf position only.

Fan Heat D

Several levels can be used at the same time for baking. The recommended positions are:

1 tray = 1st runner from the bottom

2 trays = 1st and 3rd runners from the bottom

3 trays = 1st , 2nd and, 4th runners from the bottom

If baking on three levels place tins on the grill pan on the 1st runner position and on baking trays on the other runner levels.

Remember to remove the roasting filter from in front of the fan opening. Otherwise baking times would be longer and results uneven.

With Fan Heat D, approx. 20 °C lower baking temperatures are needed than with the Conventional A setting.

Conventional A

Only one shelf should be used for this function. If more than one shelf position is needed use Fan Heat instead.

This function is particularly good for rich fruit cakes, pastries and breads where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good rise are needed.

It is usually necessary to pre-heat the oven when using this method.

Place tins on the rack on runner level 2 or 3 so that the food is centrally positioned in the oven.
