Only one shelf should be used for this
function. If more than one shelf position
is needed use Fan heat instead.
This function is particularly good for
rich fruit cakes, pastries and breads
where a fairly long cooking time is re-
quired and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven when using this method.
Place tins on the wire rack on runner
level 2 or 3 so that they are centrally
positioned in the oven.
General notes
Place rectangular tins in the oven as
shown in the illustration.
Bake larger deep-frozen items such
as pizzas on baking paper on the rack
itself or in the pizza pan (see "Extra ac-
cessories"). Placing them on the baking
tray or in the grill pan can cause the
metal to distort. This distortion would in-
crease with subsequent use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan.
When baking cakes with fresh fruit
toppings and tall sponge cakes place
the tin in the grill pan to catch any
spillages and keep the oven cleaner.
When baking anything with a high salt
content (such as pretzels) these must
be placed on baking parchment. High
concentrations of salt can damage
PerfectClean surfaces.
The Baking Chart and the Miele
Cookbook give suggestions for tem-
perature, runner heights and times.
For even browning –
– Select the runner height according to
the recipe and the setting chosen.
– Just before the end of baking time
test to see if the cake is done.
Insert a metal or wooden skewer into
the centre.
If it comes out clean, without dough
or crumbs sticking to it, the cake is
ready.
Always remove all trays and racks
not being used when using the oven
to get the best results and to keep
cleaning of the trays to a minimum.
The cooling fan will continue for a while
after switching the oven off.
