your dinnerware (plates, cups)
before serving food in it to
keep the food warm longer.

GENTLEBAKE *
This feature allows gentle,
slow, and even baking that
leaves the food soft and juicy.
It is suitable for roasting meat,
cooking fish, and baking pastry
on a single rack.

DEFROSTING
The air circulates with no
heaters activated. Only the fan
will be activated. This is used
to slowly thaw frozen food.
70
AQUA CLEAN
Only the bottom heater will
radiate heat. Use this function
to remove stains and food
residues from the oven. The
program takes 30 minutes.
* It is used for determining the energy efficiency
class pursuant to the EN 60350-1 standard.
DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy.
Hence, baking several types of pastry or several
pizzas successively will save a lot of energy as the
oven will already have been preheated.
Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated
baking sheets and trays as they conduct the heat
very well.
When using parchment paper, make sure it is
resistant to high temperatures.
When preparing food, a lot of steam is formed inside
the oven, which is drained through the chimney at
the back of the appliance. The steam might
condense on the door and lid of the appliance
(depending on the model). This is a standard
phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of
the appliance. After the end of the cooking proces,
wipe the overflowing condensed water with a cloth.
Switch off the oven approximately
10 minutes
before the end of the cooking process to save
energy by making use of the accumulated heat.
Do not cool the food in a closed oven to prevent
condensation (dew).

OVEN LIGHTING
With all modes of operation, the oven lighting is
turned on automatically when the operation mode is
selected.
RAPID PREHEATING
Use this function to heat the oven to the desired
temperature as quickly as possible. This mode is not
appropriate for cooking.
−
Turn the
ʺOven function knobʺ to the ʺquick
preheat
ʺ position.
−
Set the oven to the desired temperature using the
ʺtemperature dial knobʺ.
UPPER AND BOTTOM HEATER
The heaters in the bottom and in the ceiling of the
oven cavity will radiate heat evenly into the oven
interior. Pastry and meat can be cooked on one
shelf leve only.
Roasting meat
Use enamel coated, tempered glass, clay, or cast
iron pan or tray. Stainless steel trays are not suitable
as they strongly reflect the heat.
Baking pastry
Only use one level and dark baking sheets or trays.
In light-coloured baking sheets or trays, the
browning of the pastry will be poorer, as such
equipment will reflect the heat. Always place the
baking trays on the grid. If you are using the
supplied baking sheet, remove the grid. Cooking
time will be shorter if the oven is preheated.
Do not insert the deep baking tray into
the first guide.
LARGE GRILL, GRILL
When grilling food with the large grill, the upper
heater and the grill heater fitted on the ceiling of the
oven cavity will operate (LARGE GRILL).
Only grill heater, a part of the large grill set, will
operate (GRILL).
Preheat the infrared (grill) heater for five minutes.
