ADJUSTING THE COOKING TEMPERATURE
15
STEP 3: STARTING THE COOKING PROCESS
Set the system and the temperature; then, start the cooking process.
After the cooking process, the cooling fan will continue to operate for a while,
depending on the temperature. If you leave your food in the oven, moisture can be
released from it and cause condensation on the oven front panel and door.
After the use of the oven, some water may be left in the condensate channel
(underneath the door). Wipe the channel with a sponge or a cloth.

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS
(COOKING MODES) AND
COOKING TABLES
If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table, find information for similar
food. The information displayed applies to cooking in a single level.
Cooking times are rough estimates and may vary subject to some conditions.
Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe of in the tables in this instruction manual.
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Hence, baking several types of pastry
or several pizzas successively will save a lot of energy as the oven will already have been
preheated.
Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated baking sheets and trays as they conduct
the heat very well.
When cooking larger chunks of meat or pastry, a lot of steam will be generated inside the
oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which
will not affect the operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the door
and the door glass dry.
Switch off the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process to
save energy by making use of the accumulated heat.
Do not cool the food in a closed oven to prevent condensation (dew). 513588

33
CONVENTIONAL OVEN CLEANING
You may use the standard cleaning procedure to clean stubborn dirt in the oven (using
cleaners or an oven spray). After such cleaning, rinse the cleaner residues thoroughly.
Clean the oven and the accessories after each use to prevent the dirt from burning into
the surface. The easiest way to remove fat is by using warm soapsuds while the oven is
still warm.
With stubborn dirt and grime, use conventional oven cleaners. Rinse the oven thoroughly
with clean water to remove all cleaner residue.
Never use aggressive cleaners, abrasive cleaners, abrasive sponges, stain and rust
removers etc.
Clean the accessories (baking sheets and trays, grids etc.) with hot water and detergent.
The oven, the oven cavity and the baking trays are lined with a special enamel coating for
a smooth and resistant surface. This special coating makes cleaning at room temperature
easier.
