Use of Oven
To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend these hints:
• Use the oven efficiently, by cooking multiple 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.
• After the oven is turned off it retains heat for some time.
• Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
Baking
• We recommend using the baking tray provided with your cooker.
• It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the wire shelf; for
baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time;
• Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating
method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in undercooking the cakes;
• Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a skewer (if the cake is ready the skewer
should come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake);
• After switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 mins;
When baking cakes it is necessary to initially heat up the oven chamber, using the third level from the
bottom is recommended for baking.
Roasting Meat
• Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven.
• Use heatproof ovenware for roasting with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures;
• When roasting on a shelf we recommend that you place a baking tray with a small amount of water on the
lowest level of the oven;
• It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and you should baste the meat with
its juices. Do not pour cold water over the meat.
