Preparation

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.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance

The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.

Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

Initial heating

Heat up the product for about 30 minutes and then switch it off. Thus, any production residues or layers will be burnt off and removed.

Hot surfaces cause burns! Product may be hot when it is in use. Never touch the hot burners, inner sections of the oven, heaters and etc. Keep children away.
Always use heat resistant oven gloves when putting in or removing dishes into/from the hot oven.

Electric oven

1. Take all baking trays and the wire grill out of the oven.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Select position.
4. Select the highest temperature; See How to operate the device.
5. Operate the oven for about 15 minutes.
6. Turn off your oven; See How to operate the device

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.

How to operate the device

General information on baking and roasting

Hot surfaces cause burns! Product may be hot when it is in use. Never touch the hot burners, inner sections of the oven, heaters and etc. Keep children away. Always use heat resistant oven gloves when putting in or removing dishes into/from the hot oven.

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 space on the rack.
• Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf.
• Select the correct rack position before turning the oven or grill on. Do not change the rack position when the oven is hot.
• Keep the oven door closed.

Tips for roasting

• Treating whole chicken, turkey and large piece 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.
• Let meat rest 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.
• Fish should be placed on the middle or lower rack in a heat-resistant plate.
