Igniting the oven burner
F
Only ignite the oven burner when the oven door is open.
F
The oven burner is ignited by an electric spark. It can of course also be
lit using a match or something similar at the auxiliary lighting port (B)
(e. g. in the event of power failure).
F
If at any time the flame does not light successfully, ventilate the oven,
then ignite once more.
– Release the depressed temperature control
by pressing down.
– Turn the regulator to the left to 280 °C and
press it in halfway until resistance is felt.
The flame will then be ignited.
– Hold the temperature control down for
another 5-10 seconds until the oven
function indicator - gas is illuminated.

once more, before releasing.
The flame is now burning.
Selecting the temperature

The oven burner continues at maximum setting until the selected
temperature has been reached.
The size of flame only controls oven temperature when the oven is closed. If
the oven is left open, the flames automatically increase.

The oven function indicator - gas on the control panel is illuminated when the
oven burner has ignited and goes off about 20 seconds after the burner has
been switched off.
Rack levels
There are 8 rack levels in the side racks. These are numbered from 0 to 7,
from bottom to top. The drip pan, for example, can be positioned at position 0.
Side racks:
Rack level 0 is the lowest
possible level.
Oven trays
Baking trays:
■
Lift them slightly before taking them out of the oven.
When you put them back in the oven, make sure that the sloping edge of
the tray is pointing towards the oven door.
■
Slide the drip pan and baking tray with the two slots right to the back of
the oven.
Gridiron:
■
The crossbars on the racks
should point towards the back of
the oven (away from you).
Grilling rack with lifter to
insert in the drip pan (accessory)
■
The grilling rack is inserted in the drip
pan. Its lifter allows you to remove both
the tray and the drip pan together from
the oven. The drip pan remains in place
to catch any drips and you can easily
serve the food.
Splash guard roasting tray (accessory) for roasting and
grilling
■
The roasting tray is inserted in the drip pan and prevents the fat from
splashing out of the drip pan.
backmobil
®
(acc. No. 600A)
The backmobil
®
replaces the shelf
racks in your oven. You can slide it
out of the oven in one piece like a
trolley, and easily separate its
components for cleaning.
If your oven is fitted with a
backmobil
®
, please read the
instructions that came with it.
Roasting
F
Use the drip pan and the gridiron.
F
Turn the meat over after 2/3rds of the cooking time.
■
Only cook meat or fish in the oven if the item weighs over 1 kg.
■
Cooking time depends on the type of meat, its quality and its thickness.
To measure the joint, lift it slightly, as a joint tends to compress under its
own weight.
■
A layer of fat around the joint can double the cooking time.
■
If you are cooking a number small pieces of meat or poultry in the oven,
increase the cooking time by about 10 minutes for each additional piece.
For example, the time needed to roast a chicken is normally about
60 minutes. To cook 2 chickens, cook for 65 to 75 minutes.
F
Be sure to follow the guidelines for shelf positions.
For meat, insert the tray at level 3 and the drip pan in level 2.
Roasting in a pan (oven)
■
We recommend that you roast leaner types of meat in a covered roasting
pan (e.g. roast veal, braised beef or frozen meat) to retain the meat’s juices.
■
You can use any type of heat-resistant pan (stainless steel, enamel, cast
iron or glass) as long as it does not have a plastic or wooden handle.
■
If you use a cooking brick, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
We recommend the following procedure:
– Rinse the pan with water or grease it lightly.
