Disposing of this product correctly will help
to save valuable resources and prevent any
potential negative effects on human health
and the environment which could otherwise
arise from inappropriate waste handling.
Please contact your local authority for further

Disposal of Waste Products
• Certain foods do not need a preheated oven. Do not preheat the oven unless
necessary or stated in the recipe.
• Do not use full grill if half grill will be sufcient.
• Where possible, cook multiple items at once. This will lower the amount of time
that the oven is in use.
• Plan ahead. If you will be cooking food that will keep (puddings, cakes, pastries
etc.), do so whilst the oven is still hot from cooking a meal as you will only have to
heat up the oven once. This will also save time later on.
• Remove any accessories from the oven that are not required for cooking.
• Avoid opening the door during cooking.
• Do not use the cavity lighting unless necessary.

Shelf levels
• Accessories (wire shelf, shallow baking tray and the
deep baking tray) can be inserted into the oven at four
levels.
• Please note that the shelf levels are always referred
to by consecutive numbers starting from the bottom
(particular shelf levels are described in the cooking
tables).
• The wire shelf and the trays should always be inserted
into the leading slot formed by adjacent wire proles of
the wire guides.
Wire shelf
Food is placed directly on wire shelf or in a container on wire
shelf.
A safety stop is tted on the wire shelf and on the
guides. To pull out the wire shelf, lift it slightly
when it hits the stop.
Shallow baking tray
This is used for baking pastry, small cakes and biscuits.
Deep baking tray
This is used for roasting meat and as a drip tray.
The deep baking tray is used only as a drip
tray when using the grill functions, the deep
tray should not be inserted into the fourth shelf
position.

Food Preparation
Baking
• Use the , or . mode of operation.
Instructions
• Always observe the instructions on the shelf / shelf position, temperature, and cooking time
indicated in the baking table. The values indicated in the table are dened and checked
especially for this particular oven.
• If the baking table does not specically mention a particular food, refer to the information for
a similar type of food.
Cooking /baking with upper and lower heater
• Cook /Bake at one level only.
• Upper / lower heater combination is suitable for cooking
various types of pastry, bread, and meat.
• Use dark-coloured baking trays. Light-coloured trays reect
the heat, which leads to poorer cooking (browning) results.
Always place your own cooking containers on the wire
shelf. If you are using the supplied baking tray, remove the
wire shelf.
• Preheating will shorten the cooking time. Place the dish
into the oven only when the selected temperature has been
reached, i.e. When the heater operation symbol goes off
for the rst time.
Cooking / baking with convection
Cooking / baking with convection is useful when you wish
to bake on several shelves simultaneously. Preheating
is recommended. This mode is also appropriate for large
sponge cakes and fruit cakes (in this case, bake on a single
level only).
• The temperature is normally set lower than when baking with
the upper/lower heater combination (see baking table).
• When baking with several baking trays simultaneously,
baking time for each tray can vary. You may have to
remove one of the trays earlier (normally, this would be the
uppermost tray).
• When using several baking trays simultaneously, there
may be a signicant amount of vapour in the oven,
resulting in condensation on the oven door.

20
Is the cake cooked?
At the end of the cooking time, insert a metal skewer into the highest point of the cake and
then withdraw it. If the batter does not stick to the metal skewer, the cake is cooked.
The sponge cake has collapsed after I take it out of the oven
Check the recipe. Check the instructions relating to mixing time. Ensure the oven door is ot
opened during cooking.
The pastry is too light-coloured
A dark-coloured baking tray cooks dishes faster and browns foods more than lighter coloured
pans. Place the tray one shelf position lower, or turn on the lower heater towards the end of
the cooking process.
Pastries with a moist lling (e.g. deep lled pie) is not cooked
Reduce the temperature and extend the cooking time.
Notes on the baking chart:
• Two values are indicated for temperature, lower and upper. Initially, set the lower
temperature; if the pastry is not brown enough, increase the temperature.
• Cooking times are a guideline only.
• The value printed in bold in the temperature table indicates the most appropriate operating
mode for a particular type of food.
• Always preheat the oven.
• When using baking paper, make sure it is resistant to high temperature.
