Pre-heating It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances. Most dishes can be placed in a cold oven. They will then make use of the heat produced during the heating-up phase. If pre- heating is necessary, instructions to do so will usually be given in the settings charts for the recipe. Pre-heat the oven when cooking: • cakes and biscuits with a short baking time (up to 30 minutes) • dark bread dough • beef sirloin joints and fillets Booster You can use the Booster function to get your oven interior up to the required temperature as quickly as possible. If you selected a temperature above 100 °C and the Booster function is switched on, the top heat/grill element, ring heating element and fan will all switch on at the same time. This will rapidly accelerate the heating-up time.
