4 - General Oven Tips
Preheating the Oven
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat
time.
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is
always displayed.
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the
“detected temperature” will turn off.
Operational Suggestions
• Do not set pans on the open oven door.
• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven
door window rather than opening the door frequently.
Operation with microwaves
The microwaves are transformed into heat inside foods. The
microwave oven can be used by itself or in combination
with other types of heating. This section contains information
about the dishware and instructions for setting
the microwave oven.
WARNINGS FOR DISHWARE
Suitable dishware
You can use heat-resistant dishware made of glass, glass
ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or refractory plastics. These
materials are permeable to microwaves.
It is also possible to use normal plates. In this way, it won’t be
necessary to transfer the food.
Dishware with gold or silver decorations can only be used if the
manufacture guarantees that they can be used in microwave
ovens.
Remember that, when using the oven in microwave mode, the
dish must be placed on the rotating plate.
When using the oven in combination mode, it is preferable to
place the dish to be cooked on the low, round grill, supported
so that it is centred on the rotating plate.
Unsuitable dishware
Metal dishware cannot be used.
Metal is not permeable to microwaves. Food in metal containers
will remain cold.
Warning! Metal components, such as spoons in glasses, must
stay at least 2 cm from the walls of the oven and the inside of
the door. In fact, sparks could seriously damage the inside of
the glass door.
Warning!
The flat grill must be removed when using the
microwave and combined modes. Use it only with traditional
oven functions.
T
esting dishware
Never turn on the microwave oven before you have put in the
food.
The only exception allowed is testing dishware.
If you unsure if your dishware can be used in the microwave
oven, we
recommend performing the following test:
place the empty pot in the appliance for ½ - 1 minute at the
maximum
power. Check the temperature. The pat must be cold or slightly
warm. If it is
hot or there are sparks, the pot is not suitable.
Oven Condensation and Temperature
• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.
• Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that
allows maintaining an accurate temperature.
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time
will vary from the standard.
