Preheating the oven
It is only necessary to preheat the oven
in a few instances.
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
The oven should be preheated in the
following instances:
Convection Bake
– dark bread doughs
– beef sirloin joints and fillet
Surround
– cakes or biscuits with a short baking
time (up to 30minutes)
– delicate mixtures (e.g. sponges)
– dark bread doughs
– beef sirloin joints and fillet
Rapid PreHeat
With Rapid PreHeat the heating-up
phase can be shortened.
Do not use Rapid PreHeat to
preheat the oven when baking pizzas
or delicate mixtures (e.g. sponges,
biscuits).
They will brown too quickly on top.
Select Rapid PreHeat.
Select a temperature.
When the temperature indicator
light goes out for the first time, set
the oven function you require for
continued cooking.
Place the food in the oven.
