Baking in the oven
The following settings are recom-
mended for baking:
– Fan Heat D
– Conventional A
Baking with the “Fan Heat D”
setting
Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable, including thin-
walled and bright, non-reflective metal
moulds.
Several levels can be used at the same
time for baking. The recommended po-
sitions are:
1 tray = 1st runner from the bottom
2 trays = 1st and 3rd runners from the
bottom
3 trays = 1st, 2nd and 5th runners from
the bottom
When baking moist biscuits, cakes
or bread, do not bake on more than
two levels.
With the “Fan Heat D” setting lower
baking temperatures are needed than
with the “Conventional A” setting. See
the baking charts.
Baking with the
“Conventional A” setting
The following baking tins give an
evenly browned result:
Dark metal or enamel tins with a matt
finish are preferable. Heat resistant
glass or thermoplastic trays dishes can
be used.
Avoid thin-walled and bright, non-
reflective metal moulds. These will
give uneven browning results.
Pre-heat the oven only for:
– cakes / biscuits with a very short bak-
ing time,
– victoria sponge and similar mixtures.
Select runner height, according to
height of the item:
– 1 or 2 for deep cakes
– 2 or 3 for biscuits and shallow cakes
