Heating-up phase
"Heating-up phase" will appear in the
display until the set temperature has
been reached for the first time.
Once the temperature selected has
been reached
–
"Heating-up phase" will go out in the
display.
–
A signal will sound (provided this is
activated - see "Settings - Volume -
Buzzer tones").
When using Fan plus U, Conventional
heat V and Auto roast [, all the
heating elements and the fan are set at
the factory to switch on during the
heating-up phase so that the
temperature required is reached as
quickly as possible.
You can alter this default setting, if
wished. See "Settings - Heating-up
phase".
Pre-heating the oven
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in a few instances:
With Fan plus U,
–
for foods which cook in less than 20
minutes and for foods such as puff
pastries and yeast mixtures where
instant heat is required to make them
rise quickly.
– for roasting beef/fillet.
With Conventional V
– it is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven.
Change the setting for the
heating-up phase from "Rapid" to
"Normal" when baking pizza or
biscuits and small cakes, otherwise
they will brown too quickly from the
top. See "Settings - Heating-up
phase".
To pre-heat the oven:
^
Select the required function and set
the temperature.
^
Wait for the oven to heat up.
^
Then place the food in the oven.
