Gentle Bake
Gentle Bake is suitable for small
amounts, e.g. frozen pizzas, bake-off
rolls, biscuits and for meat dishes and
roasts. The optimal use of heat enables
energy savings of up to 30% to be
made compared to cooking with a
standard oven function with
comparatively good cooking results.
This function is not suitable for larger
amounts of food such as sponge cakes
and fresh fruit cake where the cake mix
needs to be thoroughly baked
throughout. No energy savings would
be achieved in this case.
The oven lighting does not switch on in
this function.
For optimum savings in energy usage
keep the door shut whilst cooking.
