Cooking Advice and Instructions
General Advice
Preheating the oven before putting the food in is recommended. Do not place food
inside the oven until all parts of the temperature indicator light up to conrm that the set
temperature has been reached.
For cooking on several levels, it is recommended to use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform cooking at all heights.
In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the
food could be well-done on the outside but underdone inside).
For best cooking results, we recommend placing suitable cookware in the centre of the Wire
Shelf or Baking Tray.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food
should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
Every heat resistant baking ware can be used. It is recommended not to use aluminum in
direct contact with food, especially when it is sour.
Please ensure a good tting between container and lid.
Advice for Cooking Meat
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food
and to consumer taste.
It is recommended to use a meat thermometer when roasting meat. (Thermometer is not
supplied with the oven.)
Advice for Cooking Cakes and Biscuits
Use dark metal moulds for cakes. They help to absorb the heat better.
The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the
mixture.
Check whether the cake is cooked right through. At the end of the cooking time, insert a
metal skewer into the highest point of the cake then take it out. If the batter does not stick to
the metal skewer, the cake is cooked.
If the cake collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set
temperature by about 10 °C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
Using the Oven

18
Advice for Defrosting
Positioning frozen food in a lid-less container is recommended.
The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
Lay out the food in a single layer to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
When defrosting meat, it is recommended to use the Wire Shelf positioned on the level-2 of
the rack with the food on it and Baking Tray positioned on the level-1. In this way, the liquid
from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
Advice for Cooking with the Grill and the
Fan-assisted Grill
Using the Grill function, meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven;
preheating is recommended if the user wish to change the e󰀨ect of the cooking.
With the Fan-assisted Grill function, however, it is recommended that the oven is preheated
before grilling.
Close the oven door when you use any grilling mode. Do not use the oven when the door is
open, except for load / remove / check the food.

Tips for Energy Saving
• Remove all accessories, which are not necessary during the cooking & baking
process.
• Do not open the door during the cooking & baking process.
• If you open the door during cooking & baking, switch the mode to “Lamp” (Without
change the temperature setting).
• Decrease the temperature setting in not fan assisted modes to 50 °C at 5 min to
10 min before end of cooking & baking time. So you can use the cavity heat to
complete the process.
• Use “Convection”, whenever possible. You can reduce the temperature by 20 °C to
30 °C.
• You can cook and bake using “Convection” on more than one level at the same time.
• If it is not possible to cook and bake di󰀨erent dishes at the same time, you can heat
one after the other to use the preheat status of the oven.
• Do not preheat the empty oven, if it is not required.
If necessary put the food into the oven immediately after reaching the temperature
indicated by light up all parts of the temperature indicator rst time.
• Do not use reective foil, like aluminum foil to cover the cavity oor.
• Use the timer and/or a temperature probe whenever possible.
• Use dark matt nish and light weighted baking molds and containers. Try not to use
heavy accessories with shiny surfaces, like stainless steel or aluminum.
