Helpful hints and tips

The appliance has four shelf levels. Count the shelf levels from the bottom of the appliance floor.

The appliance has a special system which circulates the air and constantly recycles the steam. With this system you can to cook in a steamy environment and keep the food soft inside and crusty outside. It decrea- ses the cooking time and energy consumption to a minimum.

Moisture can condense in the appliance or on the glass doors. This is normal. Always stand back form the ap- pliance when you open the appliance door while cook- ing. To decrease the condensation, run the appliance for 10 minutes before cooking.

Wipe away moisture after every use of the appliance.

Do not put the objects directly on the appliance floor and do not cover the components with aluminium foil when you cook. This can change the baking results and damage the enamel coating.

Baking cakes

The best temperature for baking cakes is between 150°C and 200°C.

Preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes before baking.

Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cook- ing time is up.

If you use two baking trays at the same time, keep one level empty between them.

Cooking meat and fish

Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg. Cooking too small quantities makes the meat too dry.

To keep the red meat well cooked outside and juicy in- side set the temperature between 200°C-250°C.

For white meat, poultry and fish set the temperature be- tween 150°C-175°C.

Use a dripping 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 roast- ing, add some water into the dripping 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 consisten- cy, 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 appli- ance.
