heater or fan assisted heating (if any) functions.
The energy efficiency class is determined according to function.
** See Installation.
DANGER
Risk of scalding by hot steam!
Take care when opening the oven
door as steam may escape.
WARNING Hot surfaces may cause
burns! Do not touch the hot surfaces
of the appliance. Use oven gloves.
Keep children away from the
appliance.
DANGER Risk of fire by overheated
oil! When heating oil, do not leave it
unattended. Never try to extinguish a
fire with water! When oil has caught
fire, immediately cover the pot or pan
with a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to
do so and phone the fire service.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the bake element be
covered with aluminium foil. Nor should a pan or tray be positioned
directly above the bake element.
Doing so would reflect the heat from the bake element downwards. Heat to
the oven would be restricted and overheating of the space below the
element would result in damage to the oven enamel.
Figures in this manual are schematic and may not exactly match your appliance.
Values stated on the appliance labels or in the documentation accompanying it are
obtained in laboratory conditions in accordance with relevant standards. Depending
on operational and environmental conditions of the appliance, these values may vary.

abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface,

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.
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.
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.
Page 14
How to operate the electric oven

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
How to operate the grill
WARNING Close oven door during
grilling. Hot surfaces may cause burns!
Switching on the grill
1.Turn the Function knob to the desired grill symbol.
2.Then, select the desired grilling temperature.

Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your
appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:
x Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in
the oven since the heat transmission will be better.
x While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating
operation if it is advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
x Do not open the door of the oven frequently during
cooking.
x 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.
x Cook more than one dish one after another. The
oven will already be hot.
x 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.
x Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
5. Maintenance and care
General information
x Clean the appliance thoroughly after each use,
making it easier to remove cooking residues and
helps prevent these from burning on the next use
of the appliance.
x Wipe down the cabinet, door, control panel, trims
and handles with a damp, hot soapy cloth.
x Use only liquid household cleaners and avoid
abrasive powders, scouring pads and caustic
cleaners.
x Rinse and wipe down with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the oven
x Open the oven door and allow the oven to cool
down.
x Clean the oven with a damp, hot soapy cloth. Do
not use a steam cleaner.
x It may be necessary to soak burnt soils with a
liquid cleaner to soften them before scrubbing
them with a nylon brush or scouring sponge.
x Heavy soils on the bottom of the oven may require
overnight soaking under a sponge liberally
sprinkled with household ammonia. Remove the
soil the following morning by washing normally.
x Always ensure that any excess liquid is thoroughly
wiped off after cleaning and any spillage is
immediately wiped dry.
x Do not use cleaning agents that contain acid or
chloride to clean the stainless or inox surfaces and
the handle. Use a soft cloth with a liquid detergent
(not abrasive) to wipe these parts clean, paying
attention to sweep in one direction.
x For your convenience, the shelves may be
removed to improve access.
x To prevent the wire grill and tray inside the oven
from damaging the oven door, place a strip of
cardboard onto the inside of the oven door that
lines up with the position of the trays. Tape the
oven door to the side walls.
x Do not use the door or handle to lift or move the
appliance.
