BAKING TIPS

• The exact values of temperature for each kind of dish and the different ways of baking have to be tried out.
• During baking open the door of the appliance as infrequently as possible. Otherwise the temperature
mode of baking would be disturbed, the time of baking would extend and the food could be burnt.
• Marinated meat and meat without bones roast faster than unprepared meat. To check thorough roasting
of meat, press it (e.g. with a fork). If it does not release juices it is done.
• Meat which is larded or covered with bacon must not be roasted at high temperature, so that the grease
does not sputter.
• When roasting big pieces of meat juices evaporate, which then condense on the appliance door. This is
natural and it does not imply any danger to the use of the appliance. After the end of baking, wipe the
appliance door and the surrounding space in the appliance dry.
• The pastry will swell only after 2/3 of the stated baking time has elapsed. The time of baking depends on
the type of filling (fruits, jam).
• Whipped dough should not contain too much water, which extends the time of baking.
• Do not put utensils directly on the bottom of the appliance, otherwise they would prevent the spreading
of heat and thus could cause damage to the enamel because of overheating.
• When baking in several pans, different dishes put into the oven at the same time may not be ready at the
same time.
• Baking pans are not designed for long-term storage of food (more than 48 hours). For longer storage
transfer the food to a suitable utensil.
• When baking without the fan we recommend pre-heating the appliance for approximately 10 – 15 minu-
tes. Do not open the appliance door unnecessarily during baking.
• Before grilling, preheat the grill for about 5 minutes (until the grill heater is red-hot). The grill grid with
food should be placed as close as possible to the heater. To collect the drippings, put a pan with a little
water under the grill. Grilling will enable browning and a crispy surface on the roasted meat.
CAUTION!
When using the grill, the accessible parts of the appliance may become too hot. Prevent children from
accessing the hot parts of the appliance.
• When baking with the fan it is not necessary to pre-heat the appliance, except for baking food with very
short baking times, or in the case of baking food with a high water content (e.g. fruit cakes) to prevent con-
densation of water vapours. In this appliance, various foods with similar baking/roasting times can be pre-
pared in two trays simultaneously, even if the baking/roasting time differs. The scent and taste of the foods
do not influence each other. Putting in and taking food out of the appliance does not result in huge heat
losses. The temperature is quickly compensated by the fan. The baking temperatures are lower than those
used in the standard baking mode (by 20 – 30°C for pastry and by 30 – 40° C for meat); the time of baking
is longer (by approx. 5 – 10 minutes). When baking small pastries in two pans, we recommend swapping
the height of both pans after 2/3 of the baking time or taking the pan that is ready sooner out earlier.
• When defrosting, lay the frozen food in the packaging on a dish, put it on the grill in the centre of the
appliance and switch-on the appliance in Defrost mode. The appliance door must be closed.
• When grilling with the fan and upper heater it is not necessary to pre-heat the appliance. Grill with the
appliance door closed. When grilling this way set the thermostat as needed within the range from 50 to
200°C. The distance between the food and the grill heater must correspond to the required results:
- smaller distance for a brown surface and underdone inside,
- bigger distance for thorough roasting of the food.
For catching the dripping gravy, place a plate with a little water under the meal.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before the first use
Prior to using a new unit, wipe the inside with a wet cloth for hygienic reasons. Wash all the removable parts
in warm water with a detergent, or in a dishwasher.
Then, heat the unit without food at maximum temperature (250°C) for 30 minutes. You can find the infor-
mation related to the temperature and heating time adjustment in the paragraph Appliance Fundamental
Functions (page 65). The unit may emit a slight smell and smoke, which should disappear after a while. Air the
room well during this process.
Note: Baking selector (K1) and temperature selector (K2) pop-up upon pressing so that it is possible to cont-
rol the appliance. If you want to prevent accidental changing of settings during baking or after the baking is
finished, fix them in the inserted position by pushing down to stop.
