Oven - Helpful hints and tips
Caution! Use a deep baking tray for very
moist cakes. Fruit juices can cause
permanent stains on the enamel.
• The appliance has four shelf levels. Count
the shelf levels from the bottom of the appli-
ance floor.
• You can cook different dishes on two levels
at the same time. Place the shelves on level
1 and 3.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or
on the glass doors. This is normal. Always
stand back form the appliance when you
open the appliance door while cooking. To
decrease the condensation, run the appli-
ance for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of the
appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the appli-
ance floor and do not cover the components
with aluminium foil when you cook. This can
change the baking results and damage the
enamel coating.
Baking cakes
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 mi-
nutes before baking.
• 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 level empty between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg.
Cooking too small quantities makes the meat
too dry.
• Use a dripping pan for very fatty food to pre-
vent the oven from stains that can be perma-
nent.
• 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 drip-
ping pan. To prevent the smoke condensa-
tion, 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,
cooking time, etc.) for your cookware, recipes
and quantities when you use this appliance.
