• The appliance has a special system which circulates the air and constantly recycles the
steam. With this system you can to cook in a steamy environment and keep the food soft
inside and crusty outside. It decreases the cooking time and energy consumption to a
minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or on the glass doors. This is normal. Always
stand back form the appliance when you open the appliance door while cooking. To de -
crease the condensation, run the appliance for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of the appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the appliance floor and do not cover the components
with aluminium foil when you cook. This can change the baking results and damage the
enamel coating.
Baking cakes
• The best temperature for baking cakes is between 150°C and 200°C.
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes before baking.
• Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cooking time is up.
• If you use two baking trays at the same time, keep one level empty between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg. Cooking too small quantities makes the meat
too dry.
• To keep the red meat well cooked outside and juicy inside set the temperature between
200°C-250°C.
• For white meat, poultry and fish set the temperature between 150°C-175°C.
• Use a dripping pan for very fatty food to prevent the oven from stains that can be per -
manent.
• Leave the meat for approximately 15 minutes before carving so that the juice does not
seep out.
• To prevent too much smoke in the oven during roasting, add some water into the drip -
ping pan. To prevent the smoke condensation, add water each time after it dries up.
