Using energy in a respon- sible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let’s save energy! And this is how you can do it: ● Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!). Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often. ● Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes. Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker hob. ● Make use of residual heat from the oven. If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes switch o󰀨 the oven 10 minutes before the end time. Important! When using the timer, set appropriately shorter cooking times according to the dish being prepared. ● Make sure the oven door is properly closed. Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately. ● Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.61 During transportation, protec- tive packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage.

Operation of the oven is controlled by the oven function knob – to set a required function you should turn the knob to the selected position, as well as the temperature regulator knob – to set a required function you should turn the knob to the selected position. The oven can be switched o󰀨 by setting both of these knobs to the position “”/“0”. Caution! When selecting any heating function (switch- ing a heater on etc.) the oven will only be switched on after the temperature has ben set by the temperature regulator knob. Oven is o󰀨 Roaster on. Roasting is used for cooking of small portions of meat: steaks, schnitzel, fish, toasts, Frankfurter sausages, (thickness of roasted dish should not exceed 2-3 cm and should be turned over during roasting). Defrosting Only fan is on and all heaters are o󰀨. Fan and combined grill on When the knob is turned to this posi- tion, the oven activates the combined grill and fan function. In practice, this function allows the grilling process to be speeded up and an improvement in the taste of the dish. You should only use the grill with the oven door shut. Enhanced roaster (super roaster) In this setting both roaster and top heater are on. This increases tem- perature in the top part of the oven’s interior, which makes it suitable for browning and roasting of larger por- tions of food. Oven with automatic air circulation (including a fan and top and bottom heaters) Oven functions and operation. Rapid Preheating Top and bottom heater, roaster and fan on. Use to preheat the oven.

OPERATION Top and bottom heaters on Set the knob in this position for co- nventional baking. This setting is ideal for baking cakes, meat, sh, bread and pizza (it is necessary to preheat the oven and use a baking tray) on one oven level. Top heater, bottom heater and fan are on. This knob setting is most suitable for baking cakes. Convection baking (recommended for baking). When the functions have been selected but the temperature knob is set to zero only the fan will be on. With this function you can cool the dish or the oven chamber. Bottom heater on When the knob is set to this position the oven is heated using only the bottom heater. Baking of cakes from the bottom until done (moist cakes with fruit stu󰀩ng). Switching on the oven is indicated by two signal lights, R, L, turning on. The R light turned on means the oven is working. If the L light goes out, it means the oven has reached the set temperature. If a recipe recommends placing dishes in a warmed-up oven, this should be not done before the L light goes out for the rst time. When baking, the Llight will temporarily come on and go out (to maintain the temperature inside the oven). The R sig- nal light may also turn on at the knob position of “oven chamber lighting”. Independent oven lighting Set the knob in this position to light up the oven interior. ECO Heating This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when pre- paring food. At this knob position, the oven lighting is o󰀨.71 OPERATION Use of the grill The grilling process operates through infrared rays emitted onto the dish by the incandes- cent grill heater. In order to switch on the grill you need to: ● Set the oven knob to the position marked grill , ● Heat the oven for approx. 5 minutes (with the oven door shut). ● Insert a tray with a dish onto the appropri- ate cooking level; and if you are grilling on the grate insert a tray for dripping on the level immediately below (under the grate). ● Close the oven door. Warning! When using function grill it is rec- ommended that the oven door is closed. When the grill is in use accessible parts can become hot. It is best to keep children away from the oven. For grilling with the function grill and com- bined grill the temperature must be set to 250ºC, but for the function fan and grill it must be set to a maximum of 190ºC.72

BAKING IN THE OVEN – PRACTICAL HINTS

Baking ● we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker; ● it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the drying rack; 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 base of cakes; ● when using the ultra-fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber before the cake is inserted; ● before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake); ● after switching o󰀨 the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.; ● temperatures for baking with the ultra-fan function are usually around 20 – 30 degrees lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters); ● the baking parameters given in Table are approximate and can be corrected based on your own experience and cooking preferences; ● if information given in recipe books is signicantly di󰀨erent from the values included in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual. Roasting meat ● cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on the gas burners. ● use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures; ● when roasting on the drying rack or the grate 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 during roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water – do not pour cold water over the meat.73
