Baking and Cooking

Cooking / baking with hot air is useful when you wish to 

bake on several shelves simultaneously. Preheating is 

recommended. This mode is also appropriate for large 

sponge cakes and fruit cakes (in this case, bake on a single 

level only). 

•  The temperature is normally set lower than when baking with 

the upper/lower heater combination (see baking table).

•  Use the   ,   or  . mode of operation. 

•  Always observe the instructions on the shelf / shelf position, temperature, and cooking time 

indicated in the baking table. The values indicated in the table are defined and checked 

especially for this particular oven.

•  If the baking table does not specifically mention a particular food, refer to the information for 

a similar type of food.

•  Cook / bake at one level only. 

•  Upper / lower heater combination is suitable for cooking 

various types of pastry, bread, and meat. 

•  Use dark-coloured baking trays. Light-coloured trays reflect 

the heat, which leads to poorer cooking (browning) results. 

Always place your own cooking containers on the wire 

shelf. If you are using the supplied baking tray, remove the 

wire shelf. 

•  Preheating will shorten the cooking time. Place the dish 

into the oven only when the selected temperature has been 

reached, i.e. When the control lamp goes off for the first 

time.

•  When baking with several baking trays simultaneously, 

baking time for each tray can vary. You may have to 

remove one of the trays earlier (normally, this would be the 

uppermost tray).

•  When using several baking trays simultaneously, there 

may be a significant amount of vapour in the oven, 

resulting in condensation on the oven door.
