Helpful hints and tips
• The appliance has five shelf levels. Count the
shelf levels 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 decreases the
cooking time and energy consumption to a
minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or
on the door glass panels. This is normal. Al-
ways stand back from the appliance when
you open the appliance door while cooking.
To decrease the condensation, operate the
appliance for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Clean the moisture after each use of the ap-
pliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the appli-
ance floor and do not put aluminium foil on
the components when you cook. This can
change the baking results and cause dam-
age to the enamel.
Baking cakes
• 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 empty level between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Use a deep 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 dur-
ing roasting, add some water into the deep
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
consistency, and volume.
Initially, monitor the performance when you
cook. Find the best settings (heat setting, cook-
ing time, etc.) for your cookware, recipes and
quantities when you use this appliance.
