COOKING SYSTEMS RAPID PREHEATING Use this function to heat the oven to the desired temperature as quickly as possible. This mode is not appropriate for cooking. Turn the COOKING SYSTEM SELECTOR KNOB to rapid preheating. PRESET TEMPERATURE will be displayed. This temperature setting can be adjusted.
Page 29
UPPER AND BOTTOM HEATER The heaters in the bottom and in the ceiling of the oven cavity will radiate heat evenly into the oven interior. Roasting meat: Use enamel coated, tempered glass, clay, or cast iron pan or tray. Stainless steel trays are not suitable as they strongly reflect the heat.
Page 30
Baking pastry Only use one level and dark baking sheets or trays. In light-coloured baking sheets or trays, the browning of the pastry will be poorer, as such equipment will reflect the heat. Always place the baking trays on the grid. If you are using the supplied baking sheet, remove the grid.
