    							Rapid Heat-up
    (Top heat/grill element + ring heat
    element + fan)
    For pre-heating the oven compartment
    quickly.
    The oven function required must then
    be selected once the desired
    temperature has been reached.
    Fan Plus
    (Ring heat element + fan)
    This function is used for baking and
    roasting on different levels at the same
    time.
    A lower temperature can be selected
    than when using Conventional heat,
    as the fan distributes the heat to the
    food straight away.
    Intensive Bake	
    (Ring heat element + fan + bottom heat
    element)
    For baking cakes, tarts, pies, quiches
    and pizzas that require a crisper base
    or moist toppings.
    Intensive Bake is not suitable for baking
    thin biscuits or for roasting as the juices
    will become too dark.Fan Grill
    (Top heat/grill element + fan)
    For grilling thicker cuts of meat
    (e.g. roulades, chicken). Lower
    temperatures can be used than when
    using the Grillfunction, as the fan
    distributes the heat to the food straight
    away.
    Gentle Bake
    
    (Top heat/grill element + ring heat
    element + fan)
    Ideal for cooking bakes and gratins that
    need to be crispy on top.
    Overview of functions

    							Cooking
    Remove any accessories from the
    oven that you do not require for
    cooking.
    Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
    do so in the recipe or the cooking
    chart.
    Avoid opening the door during
    cooking.
    In general, if a range of temperatures
    is given, it is best to select the lower
    temperature and to check the food
    after the shortest given time.
    It is best to use dark baking tins and
    containers with a matt finish made
    from non-reflective materials
    (enamelled steel, ovenproof
    glassware, non-stick coated cast
    aluminium). Shiny materials such as
    stainless steel or aluminium reflect
    heat, preventing it reaching the food
    efficiently. Do not cover the oven floor
    or the rack with heat-reflective
    aluminium foil.Observe cooking durations to avoid
    energy wastage when cooking food.
    Wherever possible set the cooking
    duration, or use a food probe.
    Fan Pluscan be used for cooking
    many types of food. Because the fan
    distributes the heat to food straight
    away, it allows you to use a lower
    temperature than you would with
    Conventional Heat. It also
    enables you to cook on several shelf
    levels at the same time.
    Fan Grillcan be used for a wide
    variety of food. With Fan Grill you can
    use lower temperatures than with
    other grill functions which use the
    maximum temperature setting.
    Whenever possible you should cook
    several dishes at the same time.
    Place them next to each other in the
    oven or on different shelf levels.
    Dishes which you are unable to
    prepare at the same time should, if
    possible, be cooked one after the
    other in order to make use of existing
    heat in the oven.
    Tips on saving energy
    32 
    						
    							Using residual heat
    The temperature in cooking
    programmes using temperatures
    above 140 °C which take longer than
    30 minutes to cook can be turned
    down to the lowest possible
    temperature about 5 minutes before
    the end of cooking in order to make
    use of residual heat. The cooling fan
    and, depending on cooking function,
    the hot air fan will remain on. Do not
    switch the oven off (see Safety
    instructions).
    If you wish to clean catalytic
    enamelled parts of the oven, it is best
    to do so immediately after a cooking
    programme. The residual heat in the
    oven will help reduce the amount of
    energy required. Before cleaning any
    catalytic parts of the oven, ensure
    you clean the door and PerfectClean
    surfaces first to avoid soiling baking
    on.

    							Using the oven
    Place the food in the oven if the
    cooking programme does not require
    pre-heating.
    Select the required oven function with
    the function selector.
    The oven lighting and the fan will switch
    on.
    Select the temperature with the
    temperature selector.
    The oven heating will switch on.
    After the cooking process:
    Turn the function selector to0and
    the temperature selector to.
    Remove the food from the oven.
    Cooling fan
    The cooling fan will continue to run for a
    while after the oven has been switched
    off to prevent any humidity building up
    in the oven, on the control panel or in
    the oven housing unit.
    When the temperature in the oven has
    fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
    switch off automatically.
    Operation
    34 
    						
    							Pre-heating
    It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
    in a few instances.
    Most dishes can be placed in a cold
    oven. They will then make use of the
    heat produced during the heating-up
    phase. If the recipe requires
    pre-heating, place the food in the oven
    once the temperature indicator light
    goes out.
    Pre-heat the oven when cooking the
    following food with the following oven
    functions:
    Fan Plus
    – dark bread doughs,
    – beef sirloin joints and fillets.
    Conventional Heat
    – cakes or biscuits with a short baking
    time (up to 30 minutes),
    – delicate mixtures (e. g. sponges),
    –
    dark bread doughs,
    –
    beef sirloin joints and fillets.Rapid Heat-upDo not use Rapid Heat-upto
    pre-heat the oven when baking
    pizzas or delicate mixtures (e.g.
    small baked goods with a high
    sugar content, pizza, choux
    pastries, sponges).
    They will brown too quickly.
    Select Rapid Heat-up.
    Select a temperature.
    When the temperature indicator light
    goes out for the first time, set the
    oven function you require for
    continued cooking or baking.
    Place the food in the oven.

    and finish time after selecting an oven
    function and a temperature.
    The maximum duration which can be
    set for a cooking programme is
    11 hours and 59 minutes.
    We recommend using automatic
    switching on and off when roasting.
    However, do not delay the start for too
    long when baking as the cake mixture
    or dough will dry out, and the raising
    agents will lose their effectiveness.Setting a cooking duration
    Example:
    A cake requires 1 hour and 5 minutes
    baking time.
    Place the food in the oven if the
    cooking programme does not require
