Usage Features
Hob - Daily Use:
- Heat Setting: Controlled by knobs with settings from 1 to 6 (1 being low, 6 being high).
- Residual Heat: Users are advised to use residual heat to reduce energy consumption by deactivating cooking zones 5-10 minutes before cooking is complete.
- Cookware: The bottom of cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. Enamelled steel, aluminium, or copper bottoms can cause discoloration on the glass-ceramic surface.
Oven - Daily Use:
- Activating/Deactivating: Ovens are activated by turning the function knob and deactivated by turning it to the "Off" position.
- Preheating: It is recommended to preheat both ovens (one at a time) to maximum temperature for 1 hour before first use to burn off remaining grease.
- Accessories:
- Wire shelf: For cookware, cake tins, roasts.
- Grill- / Roasting pan: For baking, roasting, or collecting fat.
- Trivet: For roasting and grilling; used with the Grill- / Roasting pan.
- Baking and Roasting:
- Temperature and baking times are guidelines and depend on recipes and ingredients.
- Lower temperatures are recommended for initial use.
- Baking times can be extended for multiple shelf positions.
- Residual heat can be used by deactivating the oven 10 minutes before cooking ends.
- For roasting, heat-resistant ovenware is recommended. Large joints can be roasted in the deep pan or on the wire shelf. Lean meats should be roasted with a lid. Liquid can be added to the deep pan to prevent burning. Roasts and poultry should be basted multiple times.
- Grilling:
- Always grill with the oven door closed.
- Use the maximum temperature setting.
- Preheat the empty oven with grill functions for 5 minutes.
- The deep pan should be set to the first shelf position to collect fat.
- Only grill flat pieces of meat or fish.
- Defrost: Remove food packaging and place food on a plate. Do not cover the food, as this can extend defrost time. Use the first shelf position (bottom).
