Guide 1
• To get the best results, the smallest distance
allowed between the food and the upper heating
element is 30 mm.
• On the wall of inner cavity there are 5 different
shelf/tray guide slots. You can place the shelf/
tray at different heights to achieve the best
cooking performance depending on the heat
of the heating elements and the size of food.
If only the upper heating element is on, we
suggest that you place the shelf/tray on guide 5
(make sure that there is a minimum distance of
30mm between the food and the upper heating
element).
• Always monitor the food during cooking to ensure that you are not overcooking it.
• For heavy food, use a pan/tray rather than the grill shelf.
• Select the oven function you require. Select the temperature you require.
• Before placing food in the oven you may need to pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes.
• The thermostat indicator light will go out when the chosen temperature has been reached.
• To switch the oven off, turn the control dials to the off position ‘0’.
• Under no circumstances should the oven be lined with aluminium foil as overheating may
occur. Do not place dishes or baking trays directly onto the base of the oven as it becomes very
hot and damage may occur.
• Bread may catch fire if the toasting time is too long. Close supervision is necessary during
toasting.
• During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating
elements inside the oven.
• Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
Baking Tips
• Always place baking tins in the centre of the grill shelf.
• Make sure you use bakeware that is oven proof.
• Do not place bakeware too close to the rear of the oven wall.
• You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting.
• If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven:
• Use less liquid on your next attempt.
• Consider using a longer baking time or use a slightly lower temperature setting.
Energy Saving
To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend these hints:
• Preheat the oven only if expressly required by the recipe or guidelines.
• Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat absorption.
• In the case of longer baking times, you can switch off the oven 5–10 minutes before the full
baking time and use the residual heat. This will reduce energy usage.
• Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time.
• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls at the same time.
• Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
• Use the ECO cooking mode.
