Remove from the oven everything which you
are not using to prepare the dish. Slide the
dish into the oven if it is not necessary to pre-
warm the oven.
Conventional
The dish is heated by the radiation heat of the
upper and lower elements. Always place the
dish in the centre of the oven. See the
temperature table to determine the height of
the ledge. For the traditional way of preparing
dishes. Dishes rise well and brown nicely.
Upper heat
Only the uppermost heating element comes on
with this heating method. This method is
suitable for cooking meat and pastries, except
for pastries with a fruit filling. Information on
pre-heating, the level choice and the
baking/cooking time are given in the
conventional heating method table.
Bottom heat
Only the heating element at the bottom of the
oven radiates heat. This method is especially
useful for baking low pastries and for
preserving fruit and vegetables. Use the
lowest oven shelf support and not-too-high
baking tins, so that the warm air can also
circulate over the top of the dish.
Grill
The dishes are heated by the radiation heat of
the combined grillelement. Flat pieces of
meat, chicken or other poultry may be grilled
directly on the grid shelf. This grill setting is
also suitable for toasting bread.
