If you turn off the oven, the cooling fan can continue
to operate until the oven cools down.
If there is a defect in the cooling fan,
contact the Authorised Service
Centre.
INSERTING THE OVEN ACCESSORIES
Deep pan:
Do not use the deep pan on the first shelf position
in the main oven.
Push the deep pan between the guide bars of the
shelf support.
Wire shelf and the deep pan together:
Push the deep pan between the guide bars of the
shelf support and the wire shelf on the guide bars
above.
• All accessories have small
indentations at the top of the right
and left side to increase safety. The
indentations are also anti-tip
devices.
• The high rim around the shelf is a
device which prevents cookware
from slipping.

necessary shelf position.
OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking times in
the tables are guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and the quality
and quantity of the ingredients used.
Do not put wire shelves, trays or pans
on the first grid position. The trays and
pans cover the oven burner and block
closing the oven door.
CAUTION! Place the food in the
centre of the oven shelf to avoid food
spillage. It can block the burner holes.
TOP OVEN
The top oven is smaller than the main oven. It has 3
shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities of
food. It is especially good for baking fruitcakes,
cookies, savoury flans or quiche.
MAIN OVEN
The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food.
BAKING
For the first baking, use the lower temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15 minutes
if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights do not
always brown equally. There is no need to change
the temperature setting if an unequal browning
occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during baking. When
the trays are cold again, the distortions disappear.
TIPS ON BAKING
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The bottom of the cake is
not baked sufficiently. The shelf position is incorrect. Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy or streaky. The oven temperature is too high. Next time set slightly lower oven temperature.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
15

Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The cake is too dry. The oven temperature is too
low. Next time set higher oven tempera- ture.
The baking time is too long. Next time set shorter baking time.
The cake bakes unevenly. The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
The cake batter is not evenly
distributed. Next time spread the cake batter evenly on the baking tray.
The cake is not ready in
the baking time specified
in a recipe.
The oven temperature is too
low. Next time set a slightly higher oven temperature.

TIPS ON ROASTING
Use heat-resistant ovenware.
Roast lean meat covered (you can use aluminium
foil).
Roast large meat joints directly in the tray or on the
wire shelf placed above the tray.
Put some water in the tray to prevent dripping fat
from burning.
Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time.
Baste meat joints with their own juice several times
during roasting.
