Hints and tips for 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.
The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as
shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven acces-
sories are correctly positioned.
Attention! - Do not place ob-
jects and cookware directly on
the oven base and 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 exclu-
sive system which produces a natural
circulation of air and the constant recy-
cling of steam. This system makes it
possible to cook in a steamy environ-
ment and keep the dishes soft inside
and crusty outside. Moreover, the cook-
ing 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.
However, 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 plac-
ing food in the oven cavity. A short
oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary
before any cooking. We recom-
mend you to wipe away condensa-
tion after each use of the appliance.
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which
will withstand temperatures of
230°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.
