Oven - Hints And Tips; Baking Cakes - Zanussi ZCV65201WA User Manual

Do not push the baking tray all the way
to the back wall of the cavity. This
prevents the heat from circulating
around the tray. The food may be
burnt, especially in the rear part of the
tray.

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.
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.
Put the tray or deep pan on the shelf position. Make
sure it does not touch the back wall of the oven.
BAKING
• Your oven may bake or roast differently to the
oven you had before. Adapt your usual settings
such as temperature, cooking time and shelf
position to the values in the tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special
recipe, look for the similar one.
• You can extend baking times 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 at first. If this occurs, do
not change the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the baking
procedure.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking. When
the trays become cold again, the distortions
disappear.

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.
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
