Condensation and steam
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.
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. To reduce condensation,
ensure the oven is well heated before placing food in the
oven cavity.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then
be necessary before any cooking.
We recommend you to wipe away condensation after
each use of the appliance.
Telescopic shelf supports (Fig. 7)
Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic shelf supports.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports
completely out, as shown in Fig. 6.
2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf
supports, as shown in the diagram, then gently push
them all inside the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
Using the Oven
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
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.
• The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf positions are
counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
Warning!
- Do not place cookware directly on
the oven base and do not cover it with aluminium
foil while cooking, as you can damage the
enamelled surfaces and the food you are cooking.
Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and
aluminium foils on the oven shelves.
