BAKING TIPS & ENERGY SAVING
1. Preheating the Oven:
Always preheat the oven for 10–15 minutes before baking cakes or pizzas.
Helps ensure even cooking and better rising for baked goods.
2. Choosing the Right Mode:
Use Top + Bottom Heat for meat and whole chicken.
Use Convection Fan for dishes that require even heat like pizza.
3. Placing the Baking Tray:
Top rack: For browning or faster baking.
Middle rack: Ideal for most dishes.
Bottom rack: Best for bread or dishes needing heat from below.
4. Saving Energy:
Bake multiple dishes at once (if suitable).
Avoid opening the oven door frequently.
Use the timer function to prevent overuse of electricity.
