Hints and tips for 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 - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels.

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that the oven acces- sories are correctly positioned.

Attention! - Do not place ob- jects and cookware directly on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners.

Condensation and Steam

The oven is supplied with an exclu- sive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recy- cling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environ- ment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cook- ing time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before plac- ing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking. We recom- mend you to wipe away condensa- tion after each use of the appliance.

Cookware

Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 230°C.

Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
