TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT!
Cooling/vent fan
This appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents
your kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the
condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever you
are using the oven and blow warm air across the top of the
oven door.
Note: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan
will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch
off by itself once cool.
CAUTION!
Using the oven
•
Always cook with the oven door closed.
•
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door.
Do not allow it to fall open. Always support the door
using the door handle until it is fully open.
•
Do not lean on an open oven door, or place heavy
items on it. This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges.
IMPORTANT!
Condensation and steam
This appliance is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam.
This steam makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment ensuring that dishes are soft inside and crusty
on the outside. This process also reduces cooking time
and energy consumption. During cooking steam may be
produced and released when the door is opened. This is
absolutely normal.
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way a
boiling kettle does. When steam comes into contact with
the oven door glass it will condense and produce water
droplets. To reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven cavity.
Oven pre-heating is necessary before any cooking.
It is recommended that condensation is wiped away after
each use of the oven.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour
etc. which affects the way they transfer heat to the food
inside them.
•
Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
•
Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
•
To increase base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
•
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.
•
Single level cooking gives best results in conventional
modes. If cooking on more than one level use the fan
cooking function.
