Additional functions
Cooling fan
When the appliance operates, the cooling fan activates au-
tomatically to keep the surfaces of the appliance cool. If
you deactivate the appliance, the cooling fan continues to
operate until the temperature in the appliance cools down.
Safety thermostat
Incorrect operation of the appliance or defective compo-
nents can cause dangerous overheating. To prevent this,
the oven has a safety thermostat which interrupts the pow-
er supply. The oven activates again automatically when
the temperature drops.
Helpful hints and tips
• The appliance has five shelf levels. Count the shelf lev-
els from the bottom of the appliance floor.
• The appliance has a special system which circulates
the air and constantly recycles the steam. With this
system you can 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 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 ap-
pliance 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 cakes
• Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cook-
ing 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 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.
Initially, monitor the performance when you cook. Find the
best settings (heat setting, cooking time, etc.) for your
cookware, recipes and quantities when you use this appli-
ance.
