First use
Before using the oven
• Remove all accessories from the inside of the oven and clean them with warm soapy water.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning materials.
• Set the oven at its highest setting for one hour with top and bottom heat (see ‘Operating the
oven’). This will remove any protective grease used during manufacture.
• When heating the oven for the first time you will notice a ‘new-oven smell’. Do not worry,
this is normal. If necessary, switch on the cooker hood.
• After cool down, clean the oven with warm water.
• Only preheat the oven if it is required in the recipe.
Before using the ceramic hob
• Clean the glass ceramic surface with a damp cloth and some washing up liquid.
• Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause scratches,
abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
Using the oven
Energy-conscious use of the oven
• Open the oven door as little as possible.
• Prepare dishes with the same cooking temperature simultaneously (e.g., an apple pie and an
oven dish) on the same grid, or above each other using hot air. You can also let meat stew
at the same time.
• Prepare more meals after each other, for example an oven meal after a cake. Often, the
preparation time of the second dish will be 10 minutes shorter because the oven is still hot.
• Because the oven is insulated, the residual heat from the oven will continue to cook dishes
with longer cooking times (from 1 hour). Turn the oven Off 10 minutes earlier than indicated,
but leave the door closed.
• Pre-heating is generally not necessary, with the exception of dishes with cooking times of
less than 30 minutes, or when indicated by a recipe.
• Remove everything you don’t need for the dish from the oven.
• Turn the oven Off before taking out the cooked dish.
