Surfaces in the oven cavity
The back wall and side parts in the oven cavity are self-
cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.
The oven cavity floor and ceiling are enameled and have
smooth surfaces.
Notes
Use an oven tray on the first bottom shelf to collect
▯
liquids produced by broiling.
Use an oven tray to bake food that could release fats
▯
or oils, in order to avoid spillage of these substances
on the floor plate of the oven.
Self-cleaning surfaces
: .
‹‹ ‹‹ The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous,
matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels
splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is
in operation.
CAUTION
9
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning
surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven
cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off
immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not
and
u
rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning
aids.

Aluminum Foil
WARNING
9
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of the appliance, especially the oven
bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
Preheating the oven
Place oven racks in the required position before
▯
heating the oven.
Always preheat the oven.
▯
Allow the oven to preheat while preparing recipe
▯
ingredients or food items.
Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
▯
preheat time.
When the oven has preheated a beep indicator will
▯
sound for 2 seconds. This takes approximately
7-9 minutes.
Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the
▯
.
oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of
heat and reduction of oven temperature.
