My oven
Decide which cooking method you want to use and select the ap-
propriate symbol on the cooking method selector, e. g., |A, for
Hot 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-heating. The thermostat light cycles on and off during oper-
ation, indicating heating periods.
When pre-heating my 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 the oven off 5-10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time by returning both the cooking method selector and.
the temperature control to the off positions.
m Recommendations
When you use my hot air cooking system | can cook on sever-
.al levels simultaneously. This. saves time, is convenient and
energy efficient. | can also cook different cakes at the same
time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewell Tart or a
Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake. Simply make sure that the
cooking temperatures are roughly the same and that sufficient
space is left between the shelves to allow the air to circulate
freely.
lf baking cakes with 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,
= Baking times and temperatures
When baking with hot air it is often unnecessary to pre-heat —
my oven. For exceptions see enclosed baking charts.
If you.use my 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 a quick 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 10-20 minutes.
