General information on baking, roasting
and grilling
DANGER:
Be careful when opening the oven
door as steam may escape.
Exiting steam can scald your
hands, face and/or eyes
Tips for baking
Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal
plates or aluminum vessels or heat-resistant
silicone moulds. Make best use of the
embossed shelf runners.
Place the baking mould in the middle of the
shelf.
Select the correct embossed shelf runner
position before turning the oven or grill on.
Do not change the shelf position when the
oven is hot. Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
Treating whole chicken, turkey and large
pieces of meat with dressings such as lemon
juice and black pepper before cooking will
increase the cooking performance.
It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to
roast meat with bones when compared to
roasting the same size of meat without
bones.
Each centimeter of meat thickness requires
approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking
time. Leave meat in the oven for about
10 minutes after the cooking time is over.
The juice is better distributed all over the
roast and does not run out when the meat is
cut.
Fish should be placed on the middle or lower
shelf in a heat-resistant plate.
Tips for grilling
When meat, fish and poultry are grilled, they
quickly brown, develop a crust and do not
dry out quickly. Flat pieces, meat skewers
and sausages are particularly suited for
grilling as are vegetables with high water
content such as tomatoes and onions.
Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire
shelf or in the baking tray on the wire shelf
so that the space covered does not exceed
the size of the grill element.
Slide the wire shelf or baking tray into the
desired level of the oven. If you are grilling
on the wire shelf, slide the baking tray to the
lower rack to collect any fats. Add some
water in the tray for easy cleaning.
The thermostat indicator light will glow and
remain on until the oven has reached the
selected temperature. The light will then
switch off.
Thereafter place the food in the oven.
During the baking cycle, the indicator light
will switch on and off as the thermostat
maintains the selected temperature.
After baking is completed, the thermostat
and the selector knob must be turned to the
"0"position in an anti clockwise direction.

Page 14
Tips for cooking vegetables
• If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and
gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid
instead of a tray. Closed vessels will
preserve the juice of the dish.
• If the vegetables in a vegetable dish do
not cook properly, boil the vegetables
beforehand or prepare them like canned
food and put in the oven.
Ringer timer
The ringer timer may be used for timing a
cooking period of up to 60 minutes.
First wind the timer by turning the knob fully
clockwise. Return the knob to the desired
time period. At the end of the this period the
bell will ring. Note: If the timer is not first fully
wound the bell may not ring.
Selector switch
Note:
The oven thermostat is marked to 70°C.
When set to this position, the oven may be
used as a warmer. All ovens extract
moisture from the food being cooked,
especially so during the winter months. This
is normal and not detrimental to the food or
the oven.
Baking Guide:
Where possible, bake on the middle shelf
position of the oven. The food must be
placed in the centre of the wire shelf towards
the oven door. Do not open the oven door
until at least two thirds of the baking time
has lapsed.
The roast pan must not be used for baking
purposes.
Grilling
Both the wire shelf and roast pan may be
used for grilling. The roast pan may also be
used as a drip tray under the wire shelf.
Position the shelf in the desired position
below the grill element.
Set the selector switch and oven thermostat
to their respective Grill positions.
The thermostat indicator light will glow.
Preheat the grill element for about 5
minutes. Partially withdraw the shelf and
place the food in the centre of the shelf.
Slide the shelf back into position.
Monitor the grilling to avoid burning the food.
After grilling is completed, the oven
thermostat and the selector switch must be
returned to the "0" position in an anti-
clockwise direction.

Tips for baking cake
• If the cake is too dry, increase the
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time.
• If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower
the temperature by 10°C.
• If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a
lower rack, lower the temperature and
increase the cooking time.
• If cooked well on the inside but sticky on
the outside use less liquid, lower the
temperature and increase cooking time.

Page 15
Tips for baking pastry
• If pastry is too dry, increase the
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time. Dampen the layers of dough
with a sauce composed of milk, oil, egg
and yoghurt.
• If pastry takes too long to bake, ensure
that the thickness of the pastry prepared
does not exceed the depth of the tray.
• If the upper side of the pastry gets
browned, but the lower part is not cooked,
make sure that the amount of sauce used
for the pastry is not too much at the
bottom of the pastry. Try to distribute the
sauce equally between dough layers and
top of the pastry for an even browning.
How to operate the grill
Switching on the grill
1. Turn the Function knob to the desired grill
symbol.
2. Select the desired grilling temperature.
3. If required, perform a preheating of about
5 minutes.
» Temperature light turns on.
Switching off the grill
1. Turn the Function knob to the Off position.
Cook pastry in accordance with
the mode and temperature
given in the cooking table. If the
bottom part is still not browned
enough, place it on one lower
rack the following time.
Foods that are not suitable for
grilling create a fire risk. Only
grill food which is suitable for
intensive grilling heat. Do not
place the food too far in the
back of the grill. This is the
hottest area and fatty food may
catch fire.
• Grill performance will decrease if the wire
grill rests against rear part of the oven.
Slide the wire shelf to the front section of
the rack and position it with the help of the
door in order to obtain the best grill
performance.
