Using the Oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air and the
constant recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft inside and
crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which
can be released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the
oven when opening the oven door
during cooking or at the end of it to
allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
When food is heated, steam is created, like
in a kettle. When the steam comes into
contact with the glass in the oven door, it
condenses and creates water droplets.
To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.
Always cook with the oven door
closed, even when grilling. Stand clear
when opening the drop down oven door.
Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and damage
the oven enamel. Always place pans,
heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays
on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.
The oven has four shelf levels.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on
the oven base.
