Uses, Tables and Tips Baking For baking use the hot air H oven function or conventional O . Baking tins • When using conventional heat O coated baking tins or tins made of dark metal are most suitable. • For hot air H baking tins made of light metal are also suitable. Shelf positions • Baking with conventional O is only possible on one shelf position at a time. • Using hot air H you can bake dry items and biscuits on 2 baking trays simultaneously.
General information • Always count the shelf positions from the bottom upwards. • Insert baking sheets with the bevelled edge to the front! • Always place cake tins in the middle of the shelf. • You can also bake with two tins at the same time using conventional O or hot air H . In this case, place the cake tins side by side on the shelf. The cooking time is increased, but only slightly.
