be almost 100% in the course of a few minutes, possibly a little longer if the oven chamber is filled with e.g. meat and potatoes

BP – ver. 1.30 – Sept. 2005

Cooling

Cooling is activated in either of the following ways: a) Oven door closed. Use water to speed up cooling process. Alarm sounds when the

temperature is reached.

b) Oven door open. Fan wheel draws in air to speed up cooling process. Program stops when

temperature is reached. No alarm.

It is recommended to set the cooling mode at 20°C below the required working temperature.

BP – ver. 1.30 – Sept. 2005

Proving/preheating

The computer is set to maintain a humidity level of 80% which is the optimum level for all products that need to be proved before they are baked.

Recommended settings of temperature and time: Loaves of 400 – 800 g: Low temperature and long proving time (32°C, 45 min.). Rolls/baguettes of 60 – 200 g: High temperature and short proving time (36°C, 25 min.).

We call your attention to the preset ”semiautomatic bread program”, in which the bread is proved and baked in the same process (models KPE, CPE and BPE).

Please note the distinction between prebaked (additional baking only) and preproved (thawing, proving and baking).

PREHEATING can be set for 0 – 15 minutes

Note that the countdown does not start until the selected oven temperature is reached.

PREHEATING ensures that the oven chamber is thoroughly heated. If the oven is cold, 2 - 5 minutes’ preheating is recommended (models 2.10 and 2.14 require 15 minutes’ preheating) If the oven is hot, 0 – 2 minutes’ preheating is recommended. Preheating at a temperature which is approx. 50°C higher than the desired working temperature is recommended.

NOTE: When the oven door is opened for loading, the oven chamber loses 30-50% of the

heat.
