Warning! 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 exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking 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.

Warning! 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 placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking.

We recommend you to wipe away condensation after each use of the appliance.

Cookware

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

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them.

•A -aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning

•B -enamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent overheating, the safety device will stop the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your local repair agent. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
