Cooking programmes
– Remove any accessories from the
oven that are not required for a
cooking programme.
– In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and
to check the food after the shortest
duration.
– Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
– Avoid opening the door during a
cooking process.
– It is best to use dark bakeware and
cooking containers with a matte
finish made of non-reflective
materials (enamelled steel, heat-
resistant glass, non-stick coated cast
aluminium). Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat, preventing it from reaching
the food efficiently. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-
reflective aluminium foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking food.
Set the cooking duration or use a
food probe if you have one.
– The Fan Plus function can be
used for cooking many types of food.
Because the fan distributes the heat
in the oven compartment 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.
– Eco Fan Heat is an innovative
function which is suitable for small
amounts of food, e.g.frozen pizzas,
bake-off rolls, biscuits and for meat
dishes and roasts. The cooking
process is energy-efficient thanks to
optimal utilisation of heat. When
cooking on a single level, up to 30%
less energy is used with
comparatively good cooking results.
Do not open the door during the
cooking programme.
– Fan Grill is the best function for
grilled dishes. 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.
