Cooking programmes
– Remove all accessories from the
oven compartment that are not re-
quired for cooking.
– In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and
to check the food after the shortest
duration.
– Preheat the oven compartment only if
instructed to do so in the recipe or
the cooking chart.
– If possible, do not open the door dur-
ing a programme.
– Use dark, matt bakeware and cook-
ing containers made of non-reflective
materials (enamelled steel, heat-res-
istant glass, coated aluminium). Shiny
materials such as stainless steel or
aluminium reflect the heat and there-
fore can give a more uneven food
heating result. Do not cover the oven
floor or the rack with heat-reflecting
aluminium foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
– The Fan plus function can be used
for cooking many types of food. Be-
cause the fan distributes the heat in
the oven compartment straight away,
it allows you to use a lower temperat-
ure than you would with Conventional
heat. It also enables you to cook
on multiple shelf levels at the same
time.
– Eco Fan heat is an innovative
function which is suitable for smaller
foodstuffs, e.g.frozen pizzas, part-
baked rolls, biscuits and for meat
dishes and roasts. Energy-efficient
cooking thanks to optimal utilisation
of heat. When cooking on a single
shelf, up to 30% less energy is used
with comparatively good cooking res-
ults. Do not open the door during the
cooking programme.
– Fan grill is the best function for
grilled dishes. With this function you
can use lower temperatures than in
other grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– Whenever possible you should cook
multiple foods at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
– Foods which you are unable to cook
at the same time should, if possible,
be cooked one after the other in or-
der to make use of existing heat in
the oven.
