Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your
appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:
x
Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in
the oven since the heat transmission will be better.
x
While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating
operation if it is advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
x
Do not open the door of the oven frequently during
cooking.
x
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the
same time whenever possible. You can cook by
placing two cooking vessels onto the wire shelf.
x
Cook more than one dish one after another. The
oven will already be hot.
x
You can save energy by switching off your oven a
few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do
not open the oven door.
x
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
How to operate the grill
WARNING
Close oven door during
grilling. Hot surfaces may cause burns!
Switching on the grill
1.Turn the Function knob to the desired grill symbol.
2.Then, select the desired grilling temperature.
3.If required, perform a preheating of about 5
minutes.
» Temperature light turns on.
Switching off the grill
1.Turn the Function knob to Off (top) position.
Foods that are not suitable for grilling
create a fire risk. Only grill food which
is suitable for intensive grilling heat.
Do not place the food too far in the
back of the grill. This is the hottest
area and fatty food may catch fire.
Do not use the top embossed runner
for grilling.
Tips for baking cake
If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°
C and decrease the cooking time. If the cake is wet,
use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a lower rack,
lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.
If cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
use less liquid, lower the temperature and increase
the cooking time.
Tips for baking pastry
If the pastry is too dry, increase the temperature by
10°C and decrease the cooking time. Dampen the
layers of dough with a sauce composed of milk, oil,
egg and yoghurt.
If the pastry takes too long to bake, pay care that the
thickness of the pastry you have prepared does not
exceed the depth of the tray. If the upper side of the
pastry gets browned, but the lower part is not cooked,
make sure that the amount of sauce you have used
for the pastry is not too much at the bottom of the
pastry. Try to scatter the sauce equally between the
dough layers and on the top of pastry for an even
browning.
Cook the pastry in accordance with the
mode and temperature given in the
cooking table. If the bottom part is still not
browned enough, place it on one lower
rack next time.
Tips for cooking vegetables
If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets too
dry, cook it in a pan with a lid instead of a tray. Closed
vessels will preserve the juice of the dish. If a
vegetable dish does not get cooked, boil the
vegetables beforehand or prepare them like canned
food and put in the oven.
