Inserting the Oven Shelf and the Baking Tray 3 Shelf runner safety and anti-tip device As a shelf runner safety device, all insertable components have a small curved indentation at the bottom on the right and left-hand edge. Always insert insertable components so that this indentation is at the back of the oven interior. This indentation is also important for preventing the insertable components from tipping. Inserting the baking tray Push the baking tray between the guide bars of the selected oven level.
Uses, Tables and Tips Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only. Heat setting Cookingprocess Cooking time Tips/Hints Residual heat, Off position 0 1 suitable for Keeping food warm Keeping cooked foods warm as required Cover Melting Hollandaise sauce, melting butter, chocolate, gelatine 5-25 mins. Stir occasionally Solidifying Fluffy omelettes, baked eggs 10-40 mins.
3 1 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time finish cooking on the desired heat setting. Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby. Baking Oven function: Conventional Baking tins For Conventional dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. Oven levels Baking with Conventional 1 baking tray: e.g. oven level 3 1 cake tin: e.g.
3 2 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase the 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. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
