COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.2 Preheating
Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods, particularly cakes
and pastry, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, for example casseroles, cook just as well when
cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking times.
To preheat the main oven:
1. Select the mode required for preheating.
2. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
For your convenience use Fan Oven or High Bake modes for fast, efficient preheating of the main oven.
Please note that any food or other cooking utensils placed in the oven during preheating will affect the preheating
time. The preheat time may also vary with installations.
WARNING: When using an alternative cooking mode for faster preheat, be sure to turn the cooking mode to your
required setting before placing food in the oven.
HINT: To allow for heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20 °C higher and then reduce the
temperature to your required cooking temperature.
Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
To preheat the right hand oven (FED model only)
Turn the right hand oven temperature control to your desired setting. The oven will preheat to 180
°C in 25-30
minutes.
