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.
