ied Oven Lighting
The oven light will be on when the oven is in use, however you may select this function to

Ventitherm fan cooking
The main oven is a fan oven only. A fan in the rear of the oven ensures that hot air is continu-
ously circulated around the oven, allowing you to cook, bake and roast simultaneously us-
ing any shelf. This cooking method uses lower temperatures than conventional cooking and
is therefore highly energy efficient.
‘|. Shelf levels — main oven
The oven has shelf supports on either side, which provide 6 cooking levels. Please note that
when using the cooking tables provided in this instruction book, the levels are counted from
the top downwards.

Bakeware
How bakeware affects browning:
4. Bakeware, which is dark in colour, has a non-stick coat or is made from aluminium ab-
sorbs more heat which is then transferred to the cake resulting in shorter cooking times,.
lower energy consumption and increased base browning.
2. Bakeware which is light in colour or is made of tin reflects the heat away resulting in
longer cooking times and less base browning.
Shelf Levels
When using the following cooking charts please note that the shelf levels are counted from
the top downwards.
Baking using the conventional cooking function in the secondary oven (upper/ower ele-
ments) should be carried out on one shelf level only. When possible place cakes in trays in
the centre of the shelf. If you are using two trays place the trays side by side on one shelf, the
cooking times may have to be extended.
You can bake on three shelf levels at the same time when using the Ventitherm {fan} cooking
method.
1 Baking tray Use shelf level 3
2 Baking trays Use shelf levels 3 and6
3 Baking trays Use shelf levels 1,3 and6
