THE OVEN FUNCTIONS ARE
THE PRINCIPLE FOR FAN
Top and bottom elements and a ring element around
the fan heat the air which then spreads through the air
ducts in the back wall of the oven. The hot air circu-
lates in the oven before being drawn back in through
the fan grill.
The heat is transferred quickly and effectively, and
often means you can use a lower temperature than with
top/bottom heat. The temperature can be lowered by
15-20% if the recipe specifies a temperature between
160ºC and 225ºC. The higher the temperature, the
more it can be lowered. It is better to use top/bottom
heat for temperatures over 225ºC.
Practical use
Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven
dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Block-
ing heat from the bottom of the oven can damage
the enamel through overheating. The oven gets
hot when in use:

SUPERVISED
The baking tray may warp temporarily due to tempera-
ture fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is
unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes
its shape when cool.
How does one know which oven functions to use in
different situations? See below for practical advice on
how to efficiently use the oven functions for various
ways of cooking:
Baking
Use a skewer to check whether sponge cakes are ready
when there are about 5 minutes left. You can then
shorten or lengthen the baking time. The material,
colour, shape and size of the baking tins as well as the
recipe can affect results.
