Cookware
Any heatproof cookware can be used.
Always place cookware in the centre of the shelf.
Hot glass cookware should be placed on a dry dishcloth. The
glass could shatter if rested on a wet or cold surface.
Practical tips for roasting
The roasting results will depend on the type and quality of the
meat concerned.
When roasting lean meats, 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls of liquid
should be added. When braising meat, 8 to 10 tablespoonfuls
of liquid should be added, depending on the size of the piece
of meat concerned.
Turn pieces of meat over halfway through cooking.
Once the roast is ready it should be allowed to rest for
10 minutes in the oven, with the power switched off and the
door closed. This allows the juices in the meat to distribute
themselves most evenly.
Practical tips for grilling
Always grill food with the oven door closed.
Ensure the pieces of meat to be grilled are of equal thickness,
where possible. The pieces should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick,
so that it retains all its juices and browns evenly. Only season
steaks after they have been grilled.
Place the steaks directly on the shelf. When grilling a single
piece of meat, place it in the centre of the shelf. This will
produce the best results. The enamel tray should be inserted at
level 1. The tray will help keep the oven clean by catching any
meat juices.
The meat or fish should be turned over after two thirds of the
cooking time has elapsed.
The grill switches on and off automatically. This is normal. The
frequency with which this occurs depends on the power level
which has been selected.
Meat
The cooking times in the table below have been calculated for
use without preheating the oven. The times in the table are
given as a guide and may vary depending on the quality and
nature of the meat.
The bread or cake (fruit cake, for example) looks
fine on the outside but still has soft (soggy) areas
inside.
Next time, use less liquid and leave the product for a little longer in the oven, at
a lower temperature. The bases of cakes with juicy toppings should be baked
first on their own. Then sprinkle chopped almonds or breadcrumbs on the
base before adding the topping. Follow the recipe and observe the cooking
times.
Biscuits are not evenly browned. Select a lower temperature; the biscuits will be browned more uniformly. Bake
more delicate pastries with top and bottom heating
%
on one level.
Overhanging greaseproof paper may also affect air circulation. Always trim it
to fit the baking tray.
Products have been baked on different levels.
Biscuits on the upper tray are darker than those
on the lower tray.
Always use the hot air

function when baking products on different levels.
Although several baking trays may be placed in the oven at the same time, this
does not mean that they will necessarily all be ready at the same time.
Baking moist cakes produces condensation. Condensation may form when baking. Some of this moisture may evaporate
via the door handle, and droplets of condensation may form on the control
panel or on the front of nearby kitchen units. The oven is physically designed
with this in mind.

* Turn the roast beef over after half the cooking time has elapsed. When it has finished cooking, wrap it in aluminium foil and leave
it to rest in the oven for 10 minutes.
** Score the pork rind several times. If you intend to turn the meat, place it in the pan, rind side down first.
*** Place the enamel tray on level 1.
