Changing The Heating-Up Phase; Pre-Heating The Oven - Miele H 5961 B Operating And Installation Instructions

Changing the heating-up
phase
The "Heating-up phase" option will
appear with the Fan plus, Auto roast
and Conventional heat functions.
These functions all have a Rapid
heat-up phase where the the top and
ring heating elements come on together
with the fans 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
pizza, biscuits and small cakes
because they will brown too quickly
from the top.
To switch the Rapid-heat up phase
off for a cooking programme select
the "Heating-up phase" option and then
select "Normal".
Please note, only "Heating-up phase"
will appear in the display.
The Rapid heat-up phase will also be
switched off if a temperature of below
100 °C is set initially and the
temperature is then increased
afterwards.
You can also switch off the Rapid
heat-up phase permanently. See
"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
phase.
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in a few instances:
With Fan plus
– pre-heating may be necessary for
foods which cook in less than 20
minutes and for foods such as puff
pastry and yeast mixtures where
instant heat is required to make them
rise quickly.
– roasting beef/fillet.
With Conventional heat
– It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven.
The Rapid heat-up phase should be
switched off when baking pizza,
biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise
they will brown too quickly from the
top.
