Rapid heat-up
Rapid heat-up Ä can be used to:
– pre-heat the oven,
– heat up ready-meals.
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 certain instances.
With Fan plus Y
– Pre-heat the oven 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.
With Conventional A heating
– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long
cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.
Do not use Rapid heat-up Ä to
pre-heat the oven when baking
delicate items such as pizzas,
biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise
they will get brown too quickly.
To pre-heat the oven:
^ Select Rapid heat-up Ä.
^ Use the temperature selector to set
the required temperature.
The oven will start to heat up.
^ When the temperature indicator
light y goes out for the first time, set
the oven function you require for
continued cooking or baking, and
place the food in the oven.
Cooking ready-meals
Rapid heat-up Ä can be used on its
own for cooking ready-meals such as
pizzas, lasagne, garlic bread etc. See
"Cooking ready meals".
When using Rapid heat-up to cook
ready meals you do not need to change
to another function during cooking.
Rapid heat-up Ä is not suitable for
traditional baking or cooking.
