The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
The oven has five 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. The below tables provide you with the standard settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
The oven 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.
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.
Preheat the empty oven.
Preheat the empty oven.
Use the cake mould.
Use the second shelf position.
Use the wire shelf.
Use the second shelf position.
Preheat the empty oven.
Use the fourth shelf position.
Grill with the maximum temperature setting.
Preheat the empty oven.
Use the first or the second shelf position.
To calculate the roasting time multiple the time given in the table below by the centimetres of thickness of the fillet.
Cover trays with grease proof paper or baking parchment.
For a better result, stop the oven halfway through the drying time, open the door and let it cool down for one night to complete the drying.
For 1 tray use the third shelf position.
For 2 trays use the first and fourth shelf position.
