Pre-heating
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.
Change the setting for the heating
phase from "Rapid" to "Normal" when
baking pizza or biscuits and small
cakes. As otherwise they will brown
too quickly from the top. See
"Changing settings - Heating phase".
To pre-heat the oven:
^ Select the required function and set
the temperature.
^ Place the food in the oven once
"Heating phase" has disappeared
from the display for the first time as
the set temperature has now been
reached.
Activating moisture reduction
It is a good idea to use this function
when cooking items which are moist on
the inside but which should be crispy
on the outside, e.g. frozen chips,
croquettes or pork with crackling.
It is also suitable for deep filled fresh
fruit cakes, such as plum or apple
cake.
You can activate Moisture reduction
with any function.
For best results, activate it at the
beginning of the cooking
programme.
^ Place the food in the oven.
^ Select the required function and set
the temperature.
^ Touch the OK sensor.
The list of options will show in the
display.
^ Use the ; or ? sensor to highlight
"Moist. reduction" and select it with
the OK sensor.
^ Use the ; or ? sensors to select
"On" and confirm your selection with
the OK sensor.
The Moisture reduction function
needs to be activated individually for
each cooking programme.
