Cooking with the oven

COOKING WITH THE OVEN
• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays. They transmit heat better.
• Cooking many types of pastries one after another saves energy since the oven is already hot. Heating an oven that has
cooled down uses more energy.
• Steam can sometimes form on the inside of the oven during cooking. The steam may condense on the door and the lid
of the cooker. This is normal behaviour and does not affect the operation of the cooker. Wipe of any condensed water
with a cloth.
• If you leave the dish in the oven after it has finished cooking steam may evaporate from it and condense on the front
panel and the oven door.
You can turn off the oven about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process. This will save energy
as the already built up heat is used.
Cooking modes
FastPreheat
Use this oven mode to heat the oven to the desired temperature as quickly as possible. Do not use this
mode for cooking. Recommended temperature: 50-275°C.
Top and bottom heater
Use this oven mode to cook meat or pastry that can only be baked or roasted at a single height level. The
top and bottom heaters will radiate heat evenly in the oven. Recommended temperature: 200°C.
Bottom heater and fan
Use this oven mode to bake leavened but low-rising pastry or to preserve fruit and vegetables. Use the
second guide from the bottom and a shallow baking tray to allow the hot air to circulate across the upper
side of the dish. Recommended temperature: 180°C.

Use this oven mode to grill small amounts of open sandwiches, beer sausages or to toast bread. Only the
grill heater is on when using this mode. Recommended temperature: 230°C.
Large grill

•
grill meat, fish and vegetables
•
roast larger chunks of meat or poultry at a single height level
