Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, in-
side the oven. This increases the speed of
defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the
speed of defrosting. This function is particu-
larly suitable for defrosting delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream
filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread
and other yeast products.

Hints and tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a me-
dium temperature (150°C-200°C). Therefore,
it is necessary to pre-heat the oven for
approx. 10 minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of
the baking time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform
tin or on a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time
and then garnished before being fully baked.
This further baking time depends on the type
and amount of topping or filling. Sponge mix-
tures must separate with difficulty from the
spoon. The baking time would be unneces-
sarily extended by too much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or bis-
cuits are inserted into the oven at the same
time, a shelf level must be left free between
the trays.
