OVEN - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Warning! Always close the oven door
when you cook, even while grilling.
Do not put baking trays, pots, etc. on
the oven floor to prevent damage to
the oven enamel.
Be careful when you remove or install
the accessories to prevent damage to
the oven enamel.
• The oven has four shelf levels. Count the
shelf levels from the bottom of the oven
floor.
• You can cook different dishes on two lev-
els at the same time. Place the shelves
on level 1 and 3.
• The oven is supplied with a special sys-
tem which circulates the air and constant-
ly recycles the steam. This system allows
to cook in a steamy environment and
keep the food soft inside and crusty out-
side. It reduces the cooking time and en-
ergy consumption to a minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance
or on the glass doors. This is normal. Al-
ways stand back form the appliance
when you open the oven door while cook-
ing. To reduce condensation, run the
oven for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of
the appliance.
Baking cakes
• The best temperature for baking cakes is
between 150°C and 200°C.
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 mi-
nutes before baking.

• 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 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 out-
side and juicy inside set the temperature
between 200°C-250°C.
• For white meat, poultry and fish set the
temperature between 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 mi-
nutes 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
dripping pan. To prevent the smoke con-
densation, 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, rec-
ipes and quantities when you use this appli-
ance.
