Inserting the baking tray
Put the tray in the centre of the oven cavity, between the
front and rear wall. This ensures that the heat can circulate
in front of and behind the baking tray. Make sure that the
tray is positioned like in the picture, with the angled slope
in the rear.

Oven - Helpful hints and tips

Caution! Use a deep baking tray for very moist
cakes. Fruit juices can cause permanent stains on
the enamel.
• The appliance has four shelf levels. Count the shelf
levels from the bottom of the appliance floor.
• Moisture can condense in the appliance or on the glass
doors. This is normal. Always stand back form the ap-
pliance when you open the appliance door while cook-
ing. To decrease the condensation, run the appliance
for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Wipe away moisture after every use of the appliance.
• Do not put the objects directly on the appliance floor
and do not cover the components with aluminium foil
when you cook. This can change the baking results and
damage the enamel coating.
Baking cakes
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes before
baking.
• Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cook-
ing time is up.

Warning! Do not push the baking tray all the way to
the rear wall of the oven cavity. This prevents the
heat from circulating around the tray. The food may be
burnt, especially in the rear part of the tray.
• If you use two baking trays at the same time, keep one
level empty between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg. Cooking too
small quantities makes the meat too dry.
• Use a dripping pan for very fatty food to prevent the
oven from stains that can be permanent.
• Leave the meat for approximately 15 minutes before
carving so that the juice does not seep out.
• To prevent too much smoke in the oven during roast-
ing, add some water into the dripping pan. To prevent
the smoke condensation, add water each time after it
dries up.
Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the type of food, its consisten-
cy, and volume.
Initially, monitor the performance when you cook. Find the
best settings (heat setting, cooking time, etc.) for your
cookware, recipes and quantities when you use this appli-
ance.
