Using the oven
Decide which cooking method you wantlo use and select the
propriate symbol on the cooking method selector,,e. g., [Aj for
Mot Air, Then select the required temperature with the tempera­
ture control. The red thermostat light is on for as long as the oven
is pre-heatifig. The thermostat light cycles on and off during oper­
ation, indicating heating periods.
When pre-heating the oven (see information in the relevant cook­
ing charts) position food in the oven after the red thermostat light
has gone out for the first time. To utilise the residual heat in the
oven switch thè oven off 5-10 minutes before the end o1 the
cooking time by returning both the cooking method selector and
the temperature control to the off positions.
Recommendations
When you use the hot air cooking system you can cook on
several levels simultaneously. This saves time, is converiient
and energy efficient. You can also cook different cakes at the
same time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewetl
Tart or a Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake. Simply make
sure that the cooking tomperatures are roughly the same and
thateutficient space is left between the shelves to allow the air
to circulate freely.
If baking cakes wito a high moisture content such as several
apple pies, it may be advisable to use only 2 shelves at the
same time to prevent too much steam forming in the
oven.
Baiking times and temperatures
When baking with hot air it is often unnecessary to pre-heat
the oven. For exceptions see enclosed baking charts.
If you use the oven for batch baking, choose cakes which re­
quire similar temperatures. Different cooking times can be
overcome by either placing cakes into the oven later or by re­
moving them earlier.
The baking chart is provided as aquick reference to keep near
the oven.
When baking on more than one level The time given in the
cooking charts has to be extended by №20 minutes, ,
