Helpful hints and tips

• In each cavity there are six self 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 de-
creases the cooking time and energy
consumption to a minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance
or on the door glass panels. This is nor-
mal. Always stand back from the appli-
ance when you open the appliance door
while cooking. To decrease the conden-
sation, operate the appliance for 10 mi-
nutes before cooking.
• Clean the moisture after each use of the
appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the ap-
pliance floor and do not put aluminium
foil on the components when you cook.
This can change the baking results and
cause damage to the enamel.

Cooling fan
When the appliance operates, the cooling
fan activates automatically to keep the sur-
faces of the appliance cool. If you deacti-
vate the appliance, the cooling fan contin-
ues to operate until the temperature in the
appliance cools down.
Safety thermostat
Incorrect operation of the appliance or de-
fective components can cause dangerous
overheating. To prevent this, the oven has a
safety thermostat which interrupts the pow-
er supply. The oven activates again auto-
matically when the temperature drops.
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 mi-
nutes before carving so that the juice
does not seep out.
• To prevent too much smoke in the oven
during roasting, add some water into the
deep pan. To prevent the smoke conden-
sation, add water each time after it dries
up.
Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the type of food,
its consistency, and volume.
