Selecting the cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the cooking
durations given in the cooking charts
are for an oven compartment which has
not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven compartment, shorten durations
by around 10minutes.
 As a general rule, check whether the
food is cooked after the shortest
duration. Stick a wooden skewer into
the food.
If it comes out clean without any batter/
dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Overview of functions”.
Using Fan Plus 
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, you can use a lower temperature
than you would with the Conventional
Heatfunction.
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelf levels at the same time.
 1 shelf: Place the food on shelf
level2.
 2shelves: Place the food on shelf
levels1+3 or 2+4.
 3shelves: Place the food on shelf
levels1+3+5.
Useful tips
– If you are cooking on multiple shelf
levels at the same time, slide the
universal tray in on the lowest level.
– For moist biscuits and cakes, bake on
a maximum of 2shelf levels at once.
Using Intensive Bake 
Use this function for baking cakes with
moist toppings.
Do not use this function for baking thin
biscuits.
 Place cakes on shelf level1 or 2.
Using Conventional Heat 
Dark metal, enamel, or aluminium
bakeware with a matte finish, as well as
heat-resistant glass, ceramic, and
coated bakeware can be used.
Use this function for baking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than that recommended.
This will not change the cooking
duration.
 Place the food on shelf level1 or 2.
Using Eco Fan Heat 
Use this function for cooking small
amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas,
bake-off rolls or biscuits, while saving
energy.
 Place the food on shelf level2.
