els at the same time. Place the shelves
on level 1 and 3.
• The appliance has a special system
which circulates the air and constantly re-
cycles the steam. With this system you
can to cook in a steamy environment and
keep the food soft inside and crusty out-
side. It decreases the cooking time and
energy consumption to a minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance

Cooling fan
When the appliance operates, the cooling
fan switches on automatically to keep the
surfaces of the appliance cool. If you switch
off the appliance, the cooling fan continues
to operate until the appliance cools down.
Safety thermostat
To prevent dangerous overheating (due to
incorrect use of the appliance or defective
components), the oven has a safety thermo-
stat, which interrupts the power supply. The
oven switches back on again automatically,
when the temperature drops.
Baking cakes
• The best temperature for baking cakes is
between 150°C and 200°C.
• 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.
• To keep the red meat well cooked out-
side and juicy inside set the temperature
between 200°C-250°C.
• For white meat, poultry and fish set the
temperature between 150°C-175°C.
• Use a dripping 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
dripping pan. To prevent the smoke con-
densation, add water each time after it
dries up.
