HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
• The appliance has four shelf levels. Count
the shelf levels from the bottom of the
appliance floor.
• The appliance has a special system
which circulates the air and constantly re-
cycles the steam. With this system you
can cook in a steamy environment and
keep the food soft inside and crusty out-
side. It decreases the cooking time and
energy consumption to a minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance
or on the door glass panels. This is nor-
mal. Always stand back from the appli-
ance when you open the appliance door
while cooking. To decrease the conden-
sation, operate the appliance for 10 mi-
nutes before cooking.
• Clean the moisture after each use of the
appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the ap-
pliance floor and do not put aluminium
foil on the components when you cook.
This can change the baking results and
cause damage to the enamel.
Baking cakes
• Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of
the set cooking time is up.
• If you use two baking trays at the same
time, keep one empty level between
them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Use a deep pan for very fatty food to pre-
vent the oven from stains that can be
permanent.
• Leave the meat for approximately 15 mi-
nutes before carving so that the juice
does not seep out.
• To prevent too much smoke in the oven
during roasting, add some water into the
deep pan. To prevent the smoke con-
densation, add water each time after it
dries up.
Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the type of food,
its consistency, and volume.
Initially, monitor the performance when you
cook. Find the best settings (heat setting,
cooking time, etc.) for your cookware, rec-
ipes and quantities when you use this appli-
ance.
