Using the oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air and the
constant recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft inside and
crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which
can be released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the
oven when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and
damage the oven enamel. Always place
pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium
trays on the shelf which has been inserted
in the shelf runners.When food is heated,
steam is created, like in a kettle. When the
steam comes into contact with the glass in
the oven door, it condenses and creates
water droplets.
To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.
Always cook with the oven door
closed.
Stand clear when opening the
drop down oven door. Do not allow it to
fall open - support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.

This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.
The thermostat control light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It
will then cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
Grilling -
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air
and to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and

The oven has four shelf levels, and is
supplied with one shelf. The shelf positions
are counted from the bottom of the oven
as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
