3 2 34 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional or Professional hot air you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven.
