completing the dish perfectly. Recommended for fish and all types of meat
roasts.

consumed unheated, such as soups, pastries, tarts, cakes, etc.

fish, pastry and bread.

The STEAM ASSISTED CLEANING function makes it easy to remove grease and other
food debris that may have stuck to the sides of the oven. During the cleaning

Energy-saving tips:

- If your oven has an ECO function, use this function whenever the recipe allows.
- For recipes with long cooking times, switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the total cooking time to make use of the residual heat.
- If your oven has fan features, cook multiple dishes at once.
Cooking guide
Cooking functions vary between models. The tables provided show the key
cooking times. The times and temperatures shown in the chart are given as a
guide. It is advisable to start with the lowest figures and increase as
necessary. for 45 cm ovens: Cooking times and temperatures are normally
slightly less than for 60 cm ovens. Always use the lower end of the range
given in the tables.
In general, the times shown on the Tables are calculated for placing food in a
cold oven.
Recipes requiring the oven to be pre-heated will expressly mention this.
Some models come with a Rapid Pre-heating function. This function reduces the
cooking time in relation to the figures given in the Tables. When using this
function, wait until the selected temperature has been reached before placing
the food in the oven.
The shelf levels for cooking are as follows (from the bottom):
- Low.
- Medium.
- High.
Levels 4 and 5 are suitable for grilling and toasting. for 45 cm ovens: The most suitable level for cooking is always level 1. Levels 2 and 3 are suitable for grilling and toasting. Place the food in the centre of the shelf or rack for the most even result possible.

- Food should be removed from its packaging and placed on the oven tray or on a dish.
- Defrost large cuts of meat or fish by placing them on the grid shelf with a tray underneath to collect any liquid.
- Meat and fish do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. It is enough for the surface to be soft to enable it to be seasoned.
- Food should always be cooked after defrosting.
- D o not re-freeze food once thawed.
- The times shown in the chart* are a guideline. The time needed for defrosting will depend on the ambient temperature, weight of the food and how deeply frozen it is.
