Safety thermostat

Incorrect operation of the oven or defective components can cause dangerous overheating. To prevent this, the oven has a safety thermostat which interrupts the power supply. The oven turns on again automatically when the temperature drops.

HINTS AND TIPS

Refer to Safety chapters.

Cooking recommendations

The oven has four shelf positions.
Count the shelf positions from the bottom of the oven floor.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before.

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 prevent the smoke condensation, add water each time after it dries up.

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.

Conventional Baking - recommended accessories

Use the dark and non-reflective tins and containers. They have better heat absorption than the light colour and reflective dishes.
