• Your oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings such as temperature, cooking time and shelf position to the values in the tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays become cold again, the distortions disappear.

• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast. Refer to the instructions of the ovenware manufacturer.
• You can roast large roasting joints directly in the deep pan or on the wire shelf above the deep pan.
• Put some liquid in the deep pan to prevent the meat juices or fat from burning on it's surface.

• All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.

• If necessary, turn the roast after 1/2 to 2/3 of the cooking time.

• To keep meat more succulent:
• roast lean meat in the roasting tin with the lid or use roasting bag.
• baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting.

11. OVEN - CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 Notes on cleaning

• Clean the front of the appliance with a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning agent.
• To clean metal surfaces, use a dedicated cleaning agent.
• Clean the appliance interior after each use. Fat accumulation or other food remains may result in a fire. The risk is higher for the grill pan.
• Clean stubborn dirt with a special oven cleaner.
• Clean all accessories after each use and let them dry. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning agent.

- If you have nonstick accessories, do not clean them using aggressive agents, sharp-edged objects or a dishwasher. It can cause damage to the nonstick coating.

11.2 Stainless steel or aluminium appliances

Clean the oven door with a damp cloth or sponge only. Dry it with a soft cloth.

Do not use steel wool, acids or abrasive materials as they can damage the oven surface. Clean the oven control panel with the same precautions.

11.3 Catalytic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not clean the catalytic surface with oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents, soap or other cleaning agents. This will damage the catalytic surface.

Spots or discolouration of the catalytic surface have no effect on catalytic properties.

WARNING!

Keep children away when you clean the oven at a high temperature. The oven surface becomes very hot and there is a risk of burns.

CAUTION!

Always turn the oven light on while using the catalytic cleaning (if applicable).

Before activating the catalytic cleaning remove all the accessories from the oven.

The walls with a catalytic coating are self-cleaning. They absorb fat which collects on the walls while the appliance operates.

To support the self-cleaning procedure, heat the empty oven on a regular basis.

1. Clean the oven floor with warm water and washing up liquid, then dry it.
2. Set the function.
3. Set the oven temperature to 250^ C and let the oven operate for 1 hour.
4. When the appliance is cool, clean it with a soft and moist sponge.

11.4 Removing the shelf supports

To clean the oven, remove the shelf supports.

1. Pull the front of the shelf support away from the side wall.

14.4 Oven - Energy saving

The oven contains features which help you save energy during everyday cooking.

General hints

Make sure that the oven door is closed properly when the appliance operates. Do not open the door too often during

cooking. Keep the door gasket clean and make sure it is well fixed in its position.

Use metal dishes to improve energy saving.

When possible, do not preheat the oven before you put the food inside.

When the cooking duration is longer than 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to minimum 3 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, depending on the duration of the cooking. The residual heat inside the oven will continue to cook.

Use the residual heat to warm up other dishes.

Keep breaks between baking as short as possible when you prepare few dishes at one time.

Cooking with fan

When possible, use the cooking functions with fan to save energy.

Keep food warm

Choose the lowest possible temperature setting to use residual heat and keep a meal warm.
