Cooking Advice and Instructions
General Advice
Preheating the oven before putting the food in is recommended. Do not place food inside
the oven until “°C” on the control panel lights up to confirm 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 Enamel 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.
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

16
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 Enamel 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 effect of the cooking.
With the Fan-assisted Grill function, however, it is recommended that the oven is preheated
before grilling.
Tips for Energy Saving
To save energy during use of the oven, the following instructions may be followed:
1. All cooking operations must be carried out with the oven door fully closed.
2. Do not open the oven door frequently during cooking in progress, as this will allow
heat to be dispersed from the oven.
3. When the oven is not in use, switch it off completely.
4. Use the “Energy-Saving Function” while cooking is in progress.
5. Keep the inside of the oven clean at all times.
