The following settings are suitable for
baking:

Fan plus is suitable for baking small
cakes, swiss roll and pastries.
Microwave + Fan plus is suitable for
doughs which require longer baking,
such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures,
yeast recipes and cheesecake.
Fan plus
Cake tins should be placed on the first
shelf level from the bottom. Place the
rack with the raised section facing
upwards in the glass tray. This ensures
sufficient air circulation all around the
tin.
When baking flat items such as biscuits
you should select the second shelf level
from the bottom to ensure even
browning results.
When baking on two levels at the same
time select the second and third shelf
levels from the bottom.
Any heat-resistant material is suitable
for baking in.
Thin-walled and bright, non-reflective
metal tins can be used, but results may
not be as good as with dark
non-reflective tins.
Baking times should not be set too
long. This can lead to the cake etc.
drying out.
Microwave + Fan plus
^ Slide the glass tray into the 1st shelf
level from the bottom, and place the
baking container on it.
For preference use ovenproof glass or
ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves
can penetrate these materials into the
food being cooked. Metal tins would
reflect microwaves so that they would
only reach the cakes from the top,
resulting in a longer cooking time.
Metal baking tins can also cause
sparking. Place the tin on the glass tray,
and make sure it does not touch the
interior walls.
If sparking continues, do not use this tin
again in microwave combination mode.
Do not use paper based containers
coated with aluminium foil, such as
are sometimes provided with packet
cake mixes. There is the danger of
these catching fire.
