1、Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in the oven since the heat transmission will be better.
2、While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
3、Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking.
4、Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the same time, whenever possible . You can cook by
placing two cooking vessels onto the wire grill.
5、Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot.
6、You can save energy by switching off your oven a few minutes before the cooking time. Do not open
the oven door.
7、Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.

Cooking Guide
Baking Tips
1、How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through. Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the
baking time specified in the recipe, stick a cocktail stick into the cake at the highest point. If the cocktail stick
comes out clean, the cake is ready.
2、The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the
specified mixing times in the recipe.
3、The cake has risen tin the middle but is lower around the edge. Do not grease the sides of the spring form cake
tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
4、The cake goes too dark on top. Place it lower in the oven, select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a
little longer.
5、The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit juice
or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degree higher and reduce the baking
time.
6、The bread or cake(e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water). Use
slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top.
Please follow the recipe and baking times.
7、The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more
evenly. Bake delicate pastries on one level using Top/bottom heating. Protruding greaseproof paper can affect
the air circulation. For this reason, always cut greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
8、The bottom of a fruit cake is too light. Place the cake one level lower the next time.
9、The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one.
10、Small baked items made out of yeast dough stick to one another when baking. There should be a gap of
approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and turn brown
on all sides.
11、You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than that on the bottom
baking tray. Always use 3D hot air to bake on more than one level. Baking trays that are placed in the oven at
the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
12、Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes. Baking may result in the formation of water vapour, which
escapes above the door. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts
of adjacent units. This is natural process.

Operating Instructions
Grilling Tips
When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 4 minutes, before placing the food into the cooking compartment.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal thickness. This will allow them to
brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
Turn the food you are grilling after 2/3 of the time.
Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx.1/2 cm of liquid.
Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx.1-2 cm of liquid.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are grilling a single piece, the best results are
achieved by placing it in the centre of the wire rack. The universal pan should also be inserted at level 1.The
meat juices are collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4 or 5.The high heat distorts it and the
cooking compartment can be damaged when removing it.
The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently
this will happen.
When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better
distribution of the meat juices.
For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern, then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at
the bottom.
Place whole poultry on the lower wire rack breast-side down. Turn after 2/3 of the specified time.
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
Turn the pieces of fish after 2/3of the time, whole fish does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish in the
oven in its swimming position with its dorsal fin facing upwards. Placing half a potato or a small ovenproof
container in the stomach cavity of the fish will make it more stable.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a
“spoon test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in,
it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt. Check the shelf height and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery. Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use
less liquid.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the
steam escapes through the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or
on the fronts of adjacent units.
