Hot Air / Economic Hot Air

Note
  • If no cook time is set, the oven turns off automatically after 12 hours.

  • The oven fan runs during the Hot Air cycle. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during the Hot Air cycle.

Tips for Hot Air

  • Use Hot Air for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.

  • Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

  • When using Hot Air with a single rack, place the wire grill in position C. If cooking on multiple racks, place the wire grill in positions B and D (for two racks).

  • Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.

  • Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.

Tips for Economic Hot Air

  • When possible, do not preheat the oven before placing food inside.

  • Only preheat if it is specified in the recipe.

  • To maximize energy efficiency, do not open the door during cooking.

  • Use dark black enameled tins that absorb heat particularly well.

  • Remove unused accessories from the oven.
