10. 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 appliance 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 con-
densation, run the appliance for 10 mi-
nutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of
the appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the
appliance floor and do not cover the
components with aluminium foil when
you cook. This can change the baking
results and damage the enamel coat-
ing.
10.1 Baking cakes
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10
minutes 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.
10.2 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
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
during roasting, add some water into
the dripping pan. To prevent the smoke
condensation, add water each time af-
ter it dries up.
10.3 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 set-
ting, cooking time, etc.) for your cook-
ware, recipes and quantities when you
use this appliance.
