Usage, Tables and Tips Baking Oven function: Pizza Setting , Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking or Conventional Cooking . Baking tins • For Conventional Cooking , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Pizza Setting or Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking , bright metal tins are also suitable. Oven levels • Baking with Conventional Cooking and Pizza Setting is possible on one oven level. • With Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the same time: 1 baking tray: e.
3 2 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional Cooking or Pizza Setting 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. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
