4. How to use the oven
General information on baking, roasting and
grilling
DANGER:
Be careful when opening the oven door
as steam may escape. Exiting steam can
scald your hands, face and/or eyes
Warning:
Do not put metal items such as
forks, knives or saucepan covers into your
oven since they can get very hot.
Tips for baking
Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal plates or
aluminum vessels or heat-resistant silicone moulds.
Make best use of the embossed shelf runners.
Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf.
Select the correct embossed shelf runner position
before turning the oven or grill on. Do not change the
shelf position when the oven is hot.
Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
Treating whole chicken, turkey and large pieces of
meat with dressings such as lemon juice and black
pepper before cooking will increase the cooking
performance.
It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to roast meat
with bones when compared to roasting the same size
of meat without bones.
Each centimeter of meat thickness requires
approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking time.
Leave meat in the oven for about 10 minutes after the
cooking time is over. The juice is better distributed all
over the roast and does not run out when the meat is
cut.
Fish should be placed on the middle or lower shelf in
a heat-resistant plate.
Tips for grilling
When meat, fish and poultry are grilled, they quickly
brown, develop a crust and do not dry out quickly.
Flat pieces, meat skewers and sausages are
particularly suited for grilling as are vegetables with
high water content such as tomatoes and onions.
Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire shelf or
in the baking tray on the wire shelf so that the space
covered does not exceed the size of the grill element.
Slide the wire shelf or baking tray into the desired
level of the oven. If you are grilling on the wire shelf,
slide the baking tray to the lower rack to collect any
fats. Add some water in the tray for easy cleaning.
Foods that are not suitable for grilling
create a fire risk. Only grill food which is
suitable for intensive grilling heat.
Do not place the food too far in towards
the back of the grill. This is the hottest
area and fatty food may catch fire.

Rack positions (For models with wire shelf)
It is important to place the wire shelf onto the side
rack correctly. Wire shelf must be inserted between
the side racks as illustrated in the figure.
Do not let the wire shelf stand against the rear wall of
the oven. Slide your wire shelf to the front section of
the rack and settle it with the help of the door in order
to obtain a good grill performance.
