Do not push the baking tray all the
way to the back wall of the cavity.
This prevents the heat from
circulating around the tray. The food
may be burnt, especially in the rear
part of the tray.
Put the tray or pan on the shelf position. Make
sure it does not touch the back wall of the oven.
Oven - Hints and tips
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking times in
the tables are guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and the
quality and quantity of the
ingredients used.
General information
• The appliance has four shelf positions.
Count the shelf positions from the bottom of
the appliance floor.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or
on the door glass panels. This is normal.
Always stand back from the appliance when
you open the appliance door while cooking.
To decrease the condensation, operate the
appliance for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Clean the moisture after each use of the
appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the
appliance 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
• Your oven can bake or roast differently to the
appliance you had before. Adapt your usual
settings (temperature, cooking times) and
shelf positions to the values in the tables.
• The manufacturer recommends that you use
the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special
recipe, look for the one that is almost the
same.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than one
level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do
not always brown equally at first. If this
occurs, do not change the temperature
setting. The differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can deactivate
the oven approximately 10 minutes before
the end of the baking time and then use the
residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in the
oven can twist during baking. When the trays
become cold again, the distortions are gone.
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 prevent
the oven from stains that can be permanent.
• Leave the meat for approximately 15 minutes
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
