Remarks
• The temperature can be adjusted during preparation.
• Cooking times are rough estimates and may vary subject to some
conditions.
• Some recipes should be preheated using the selected oven mode.
• If you are using parchment paper, make sure it is highly temperature
resistant.
• When cooking larger chunks of meat or pastry, a lot of steam will
be generated inside the oven, which in turn may condense on the
oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which will not affect the
operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the
door and the door glass dry.
• To prevent condensation (dew) do not leave heated food cool off in
a closed oven.

takes several minutes longer. This function is used to roast
meat or to bake pastry.

clean programme takes only 4 minutes time. Then wait
± 30 minutes.

time. The oven features automatic defrosting programs that
employ microwaves (A1 to A5).
