Helpful hints and tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. Howev-
er,
always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door
to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a
trim, it will condense and produce water
droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault
with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfa-
ces.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 295°C.
Important!
Oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly on the oven base.
Oven Cooking
• Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end
of cooking time, and use residual heat to
complete the cooking.
• The thickness, the material and the colour
of the pan will influence the cooking re-
sults.
• When cooking, certain dishes increase in
volume, ensure the pan is large enough.
• To prevent fat dripping when roasting use
tall rim pans proportional to the item being
roasted.
• • Prick the skin of poultry and sausages
with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.
• Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, con-
ductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way
they transmit heat to the food inside them.
A
: Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware
and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
base browning.
B
: Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with nonstick interior and col-
oured exterior and dark, heavy utensils in-
crease cooking and base browning.
Care and cleaning
Warning!
The oven should be kept
clean at all times. A buildup of fats or
other foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Warning!
Before cleaning, ensure all
control knobs are in the OFF position,
and the appliance has cooled
completely.
Warning!
Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that
their use is recommended by the manufac-
turer.
Warning!
Cleaners that contain bleach
should NOT be used as they may dull the
surface finishes. A steam cleaner and
harsh abrasive should not be used. To
clean the oven and hobs do not use a
steam cleaner.
