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 one shelf.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that the shelf is correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
When cooking in the oven (EK 5701 W/GR
only), always leave the cooker lid open, in
order to avoid overheating.
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
underneath browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase
cooking and underneath browning.
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.
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 performan-
ce.
Hints and Tips
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the
oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore flammable
materials such as oven gloves, tea towels,
plastic aprons etc. should not be stored in
the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets,
will also become hot, therefore care
should be taken when removing these
items from the drawer whilst the oven is in
use or still hot.
