COOKBOOK

Points To Remember

• Please make reading the Operation Manual your very fi rst step in working with your new oven. This important 

booklet explains exactly how the oven works and what you need to know to operate it successfully.

• Use the information in the charts and recipes to help adapt your own favorite recipes or convenience foods for 

preparation in the oven.

• The stated cooking times in the charts and recipes are guidelines and are based on standard conditions. 

Cooking results will vary according to the conditions of food, utensils and the oven. Please check the cooking 
result and if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.

• Prepare the food and use accessories as instructed.
• When placing food in the oven, turning, stirring or adding something to the food, please ensure the door does 

not remain open long so as to avoid loss of heat.

• Please refer to Food and Utensil Position Chart on page 13 before setting food in the oven.
• Always distribute the ingredients evenly inside a piece of ovenware or steam tray to achieve even cooking 

results.

• There is no need to fi ll the water tank for Microwave, Grill, Combi High or Combi Low cooking.
• If you would like to adapt your favorite recipes for the microwave, you should take note of the following: Shorten 

cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the example of the recipes in this cookery book.

- Determining Cooking Time with a Food   
  Thermometer -

Every drink and every food has a specific internal 
temperature at the end of the cooking process, at which 
the cooking process can be ended and the result is good. 
You can determine the internal temperature with a food 
thermometer. The most important temperatures are given 
in the temperature table.
