12. OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
12.1 General information
The appliance has four shelf positions.
Count the shelf positions 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 decreases the cooking time
and energy consumption to a minimum.
Moisture can condense in the appliance
or on the door glass panels. This is
normal. Always stand back from the
appliance when you open the appliance
door while cooking. To decrease the
condensation, operate the appliance for
10 minutes before cooking.
Clean the moisture after each use of the
appliance.
Do not put the objects directly on the
appliance 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.
12.2 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally. There is no
need to change the temperature setting if
an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during
baking. When the trays are cold again,
the distortions disappear.
12.3 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.
12.4 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
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
deep pan. To prevent the smoke
condensation, add water each time after
it dries up.
12.5 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
setting, cooking time, etc.) for your
cookware, recipes and quantities when
you use this appliance.
