Defrost function
Insert the food you wish to defrost into the oven on to the rack and
select the third rail from the bottom. Under the rack place a backing
tray, into which the water created during defrosting will drip.
Use the turn dial to select the defrost function.
This function neither cooks nor bakes, it only helps to defrost food in
the shortest possible time.
Static cooking (top and bottom heating element turned on)
This cooking method, which is also called the traditional method, ensures an even distribution of heat
generated from the top and bottom heating elements. Food is evenly baked from the top and bottom.
Set the temperature dial to the appropriate temperature – see table below, or according to the recipe for the
food you are cooking.
Use the function selection dial to select an appropriate function.
We recommend to leave the oven to preheat for about 10 minutes.
Place the food into cookware suitable for oven use and then place this into the preheated oven.
This function is suitable for cooking cakes, sponge cakes, baking foods au Gratin, lasagne and pizzas.
After fi nishing cooking, turn off the oven by turning the function selection dial and the temperature dial to
zero and cancel the timer (if available). Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a cutting board or
a metal rack and allow it to cool down. Leave the door open to allow the oven to cool down.
After fi nishing cooking the oven is still hot. Do not come too close to the oven. Make sure that children
do not come near the oven.
Turbo fan function
The turbo fan function serves to evenly distribute heat inside the oven. All food on all the racks will be baked
evenly.
Set the temperature dial to the desired temperature. Use the turn dial to select the turbo fan function. After
preheating for 10 minutes, place the food inside the oven in appropriate baking cookware. This function is
suitable for cooking several types of food at once.
If you wish to bake two diff erent types of food on two racks at the same time, select the lower of the two
temperatures suitable for the given food type – see table below.
Cooking food on two racks at the same time requires an extended cooking time compared to cooking on only
a single rack. Nevertheless, the both meals do not need to fi nish cooking at the same time. For this reason,
regularly check both meals.
After fi nishing cooking, turn off the oven by turning the function selection dial and the temperature dial to
zero and cancel the timer (if available). Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a cutting board or
a metal rack and allow it to cool down. Leave the door open to allow the oven to cool down.
