Using the oven

Changing the heating-up phase

The "Heating-up phase" option will appear with the Fan plus, Auto roast and Conventional functions.

A rapid heat-up phase is set as stan- dard for these functions.

The top and ring heating elements will come on together with the fan during the heating-up phase to enable the oven to reach the required temperature as quickly as possible.

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

If you want to switch off the rapid heat-up phase for a cooking process, call up the "Heating-up phase" option and select "Normal".

You can also switch off the rapid heat-up phase permanently. See "Changing 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-up phase.

It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in certain instances.

With Fan plus

Pre-heat the oven for foods which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastries and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.

With Conventional heat

Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good rise are needed.

The rapid heat-up phase should be switched off when baking delicate items such as pizza, biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise they will get brown too quickly.
