Shelf supports
The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf positions are
counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in figure
2.
Shelf levels 1, 2 and 4 are fitted with telescopic shelf
supports, to allow en easier operation when inserting or
removing the shelves.
Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports
completely out, as shown in figure 3.
Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf
supports, then gently push them all inside the oven
(Fig. 3).
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
Always use oven
gloves
to remove and replace food
in the oven.
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
Carefully supervise cookings with
fats or oi
l, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated.
For the same reason, be careful when placing or
removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
Always cook with the oven door closed
When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam
comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will
condense and produce water droplets.
This is quite normal and is not caused by fault of
the oven.
We recommend you to wipe away condensation
after all cookings.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish
and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom (see Fig. 2) with
some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of
melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempera-

ture (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded
when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has
been started, keep the oven door closed during all the
cooking time, and check the cooking results through the
oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
When using the Thermal Grill Function,
select a maximum temperature of 200°C
