Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However,
always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door
to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is
not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
Hints and Tips
Attention!
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit pans or aluminium
foil on the oven bottom. This could cause a heat build-up
which would affect the baking results and damage the oven
enamel.
The effects of dishes on cooking
results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A
Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and underneath
browning.
B
Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and
dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath
browning.
NO
YES
Before the First Use
Remove
all packaging
, both inside and outside
the appliance,
before using it.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking
.
2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
