Pre-heating your appliance

For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3
minutes to obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the required
temperature quickly and efficiently.
With "rapid heat"
For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven by selecting the "rapid heat" function.
This function allows your oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than any other cooking
function.
1. Turn the function selector to "rapid heat".
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.
When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the
desired temperature. Select the oven function you require for cooking or baking and place the
food in the oven.
With "bake/pizza"
1. It is recommended you preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.
When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the desired preset temperature, place
your food in the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
With "fan bake"
1. It is recommended to preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.
When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the desired preset temperature, place
your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
With "grill"
Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural
juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.
