Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge,
if you brown food (specially the one which contains
starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we
recommend that you cook at the lowest temperatures and
do not brown food too much.
• The appliance has four shelf levels. Count the shelf
levels from the bottom of the appliance floor.
• You can cook different dishes on two levels at the same
time. Place the shelves on level 1 and 3.
• The appliance has a special system which circulates
the air and constantly recycles the steam. With this
system you can to cook in a steamy environment and
keep the food soft inside and crusty outside. It decrea-
ses the cooking time and energy consumption to a
minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or on the glass
doors. This is normal. Always stand back form the ap-
pliance when you open the appliance door while cook-
ing. To decrease the condensation, run the appliance
for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of the appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the appliance floor
and do not cover the components with aluminium foil
when you cook. This can change the baking results and
damage the enamel coating.
Baking cakes
• The best temperature for baking cakes is between
150°C and 200°C.
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes before
baking.
• 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
level empty between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg. Cooking too
small quantities makes the meat too dry.
• To keep the red meat well cooked outside and juicy
inside set the temperature between 200°C-250°C.
• For white meat, poultry and fish set the temperature
between 150°C-175°C.
• Use a dripping 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 roast-
ing, add some water into the dripping pan. To prevent
the smoke condensation, add water each time after it
dries up.
Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the type of food, its consisten-
cy, and volume.
