Tips for saving energy The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy: · Use dark coloured or enamel coated
cookware in the oven since the heat transmission will be better. · While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in the user manual or cooking instructions. · Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking. · 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 shelf. · Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot. · You can save energy by switching off your oven a few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do not open the oven door. · Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.

Connect the cabling onto the stove connecter.

Electric oven 1. Take all baking trays and the wire
shelves out of the oven. 2. Close the oven door. 3. Select Static position. 4. Select the highest grill power; (See
section on how to operate the electric oven). 5. Operate the oven for about 30 minutes. 6. Turn off your oven; (See section on how to operate the electric oven). Grill oven 1. Take all baking trays and the wire shelves out of the oven. 2. Close the oven door.

Page 12

3. Select the highest grill power; (See section on how to operate the grill).
4. Operate the grill about 30 minutes. 5. Turn off your grill; (See section on how
to operate the grill).
Smoke and smell may emit for a couple of hours during the initial operation. This is quite normal. Ensure that the room is well ventilated to remove the smoke and smell. Avoid directly inhaling the smoke and the smell that emits.
Final check: Check the functions.
For appliances with a cooling fan
The built-in cooling fan cools both the built-in cabinet and the front of the appliance.
1 Cooling fan 2 Control panel 3 Door
Please note that the cooling fan may continue to run well after the oven has been switched off. The duration is dependent on the selected operating temperature. This is a built-in safety feature to ensure that your oven is cooled down correctly. To reduce the cooling fan running time, the oven door may be left ajar after the oven has been switched off. Please be cautious of hot surfaces.

4. How to use the oven
General information on baking, roasting and grilling
DANGER: Be careful when opening the oven door as steam may escape. Exiting steam can scald your hands, face and/or eyes
Tips for baking Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal plates or aluminum vessels or heat-resistant silicone moulds. Make best use of the embossed shelf runners. Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf. Select the correct embossed shelf runner position before turning the oven or grill on. Do not change the shelf position when the oven is hot. Keep the oven door closed. Tips for roasting Treating whole chicken, turkey and large pieces of meat with dressings such as lemon juice and black pepper before cooking will increase the cooking performance. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to roast meat with bones when compared to roasting the same size of meat without bones. Each centimeter of meat thickness requires approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking time. Leave meat in the oven for about 10 minutes after the cooking time is over. The juice is better distributed all over the roast and does not run out when the meat is cut.
Warning: Do not put metal items such as forks, knives or saucepan covers into your oven since they can get very hot.

Page 13

Fish should be placed on the middle or lower shelf in a heat-resistant plate. Tips for grilling When meat, fish and poultry are grilled, they quickly brown, develop a crust and do not dry out quickly. Flat pieces, meat skewers and sausages are particularly suited for grilling as are vegetables with high water content such as tomatoes and onions. Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire shelf or in the baking tray on the wire shelf so that the space covered does not exceed the size of the grill element. Slide the wire shelf or baking tray into the desired level of the oven. If you are grilling on the wire shelf, slide the baking tray to the lower rack to collect any fats. Add some water in the tray for easy cleaning.

Switching off the electric oven Turn the function knob and temperature knob to off (upper) position. Rack positions (For models with wire shelf)
It is important to place the wire shelf onto the side rack correctly. Wire shelf must be inserted between the side racks as illustrated in the figure. Do not let the wire shelf stand against the rear wall of the oven. Slide your wire shelf to the front section of the rack and settle it with the help of the door in order to obtain a good grill performance.

Foods that are not suitable for grilling create a fire risk. Only grill food which is suitable for intensive grilling heat. Do not place the food too far in towards the back of the grill. This is the hottest area and fatty food may catch fire.

Tips for baking cake If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature by 10° C and decrease the cooking time. If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature and increase the cooking time. If cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside use less liquid, lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.
Tips for baking pastry If the pastry is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and decrease the cooking time. Dampen the layers of dough with a sauce composed of milk, oil, egg and yoghurt.
If the pastry takes too long to bake, pay care that the thickness of the pastry you have prepared does not exceed the depth of the tray. If the upper side of the pastry gets browned, but the lower part is not cooked, make sure that the amount of sauce you have used for the pastry is not too much at the bottom of the pastry. Try to scatter the sauce equally between the dough layers and on the top of pastry for an even browning.
Cook the pastry in accordance with the mode and temperature given in the cooking table. If the bottom part is still not browned enough, place it on one lower rack next time.

Foods that are not suitable for grilling create a fire risk. Only grill food which is suitable for intensive grilling heat. Do not place the food too far in the back of the grill. This is the hottest area and fatty food may catch fire.
Do not use the top embossed runner for grilling.

Tips for cooking vegetables If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid instead of a tray. Closed vessels will preserve the juice of the dish. If a vegetable dish does not get cooked, boil the vegetables beforehand or prepare them like canned food and put in the oven.
