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, and is supplied with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.

To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through vents between the oven door and the control panel, as shown in the diagram.

The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

Cookware

Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 250°C.

Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be 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.

The steam cooking functionality allows for diverse culinary applications, from steaming vegetables to baking delicate pastries.

Furthermore, the EPSOS is designed with durability in mind. Its premium materials and construction ensure a long life span, providing excellent value for the investment. Easy-to-clean surfaces and removable components contribute to the lower maintenance requirements, allowing users to spend more time enjoying their meals rather than cleaning up.
