9. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
www.aeg.com10

The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
9.1 General information
• The appliance has five shelf positions.
Count the shelf positions 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 cook in a steamy environment
and keep the food soft inside and
crusty outside. It decreases the
cooking time and energy
consumption to a minimum.
• Moisture can condense in the
appliance or on the door glass panels.
This is normal. Always stand back
from the appliance when you open
the appliance door while cooking. To
decrease the condensation, operate
the appliance for 10 minutes before
cooking.
• Clean the moisture after each use of
the appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the
appliance floor and do not put
aluminium foil on the components
when you cook. This can change the
baking results and cause damage to
the enamel.
9.2 Baking cakes
• 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 empty level
between them.
9.3 Cooking meat and fish
• Use a deep 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 roasting, add some water
into the deep pan. To prevent the
smoke condensation, add water each
time after it dries up.
9.4 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, recipes and quantities when
you use this appliance.
