contents

You have chosen an Atag oven.

Optimum ease of use and simple operation were the most important factors in the development of this product.

This oven is fitted with a turbo function, an oven function with a wide range of applications. Your favourite recipes will definitely give excellent results on this setting.

The extensive range of settings enables you to select exactly the method of cooking that you have in mind. The oven functions are arranged in a logical sequence on the function knob.

In addition, the oven has a timer. This switches the oven off automatically when the cooking time has finished - efficiently and without fuss.

safety

what you should pay attention to

general

This oven is extremely safe. As with all products, however, there are a number of things you have to pay attention to.

The appliance must only be installed by a registered installer.

For safety tips about the installation, we refer you to the instructions in the accompanying installation instructions.

Repairs must only be carried out by an authorised service engineer.

Never open the appliance's casing and do not alter the mechanical and/or electrical structure of the appliance. This could result in dangerous situations (touching live components) and faults.

Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.

The appliance should be disconnected from the mains before being repaired or cleaned. Remove the plug from the socket or turn the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.

For electrical safety reasons, the appliance must not be cleaned using high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Be careful with the leads of electrical appliances, such as mixers. They can get caught in the door of the hot oven.

This oven has been designed for domestic use. You should only use it for cooking food.

during use

Make sure that the food is always heated sufficiently. The time required for this depends on various factors, such as the quantity and type of food. Any bacteria in the food will only be killed if the food is heated to a temperature greater than 70^ for at least 10 minutes. Allow the food to cook for a bit longer if you are not sure whether the food has been heated sufficiently.

The oven is extremely well insulated. Despite this, there is always some transfer of heat, as a result of which the outside of the oven heats up. This heating falls well within the standard limits.

Never heat food in unopened tins. Pressure will build up inside the tin and may cause it to explode.

If the oven is used at the maximum temperature for a long time (when grilling, for example), the glass panel in the oven door may become hot. Take care if there are any children nearby.

Do not use the oven for storing flammable or easily deformable materials.

When cooking dishes that contain alcohol, the alcohol can evaporate due to the high temperatures. The vapour can catch fire if it comes into contact with a hot oven element.

The oven has a fan that cools the oven housing. After the oven has been switched off, this fan may continue to run for a while.

Never cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil and do not place any baking trays or tins on it. The foil checks the heat, which may result in damage to the enamel and inferior cooking results.

Never pour water into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to the enamel.

Frozen products such as pizzas should preferably be cooked on the grid shelf, covered with greaseproof paper. If the baking tray is used, it may become deformed due to the great difference in temperature.

bringing the oven into operation

before you start cooking

operation

switching on

cleaning the oven and accessories

Remove the accessories from the oven and clean the accessories and the inside of the oven with a mild cleaning agent.

Switch the oven on for an hour at 250 °C (see page 7). Protective greases used during manufacture will then be removed.

remark

When your oven is heated strongly for the first time, it will have a "new" smell. This is normal. Switch the extractor hood on if necessary.

After the oven has cooled down, clean it with warm water.

cooking information oven functions

cooking information accessories

turbo; hot air

You can cook on various levels at the same time. Thanks to the intensive heat transfer, you can select a temperature approx. 20 °C lower than stated for conventional recipes.

infra; top and bottom heat

Infra is meant for cooking on one level. Place the dish in the middle of the oven for the traditional method of cooking. The dishes rise well and get a nice brown colour.

bottom heat

Only the bottom heat is switched on. This setting is suitable for giving tart and pizza bases a bit of extra cooking. Switch to this setting at the end of a baking process.

economy grill

Use the economy grill when there is only a dish in the middle of the oven or when using the rotisserie. The thermostat also controls the grill. As a result, the element will not be red continuously, but only from time to time.

maxi grill

Use the maxi grill for large portions - for a fully-covered grid shelf, for example. The thermostat also controls the grill. As a result, the element will not be red continuously, but only from time to time.

infra with fan

Infra with fan is meant for cooking on one level. Thanks to the intensive heat transfer, you can select a temperature approx. 20 °C lower than stated for conventional recipes.

tips for baking and roasting

introduction

In the tables on pages 15 and 16 inclusive you will find information about cooking times, temperatures and shelf heights. The times and temperatures in the tables are averages. If necessary, you can use slightly different values in order to cook more than one dish at the same time.

energy-conscious use of the oven

Open the oven door as little as possible.

Cook dishes with approximately the same cooking temperatures (apple tart and an oven dish, for example) at the same time on the same grid shelf, or one above the other with the turbo function. You can also braise meal at the same time.

Cook several dishes one after the other (an oven dish after a cake, for example). The cooking time for the second dish can often be shortened by 10 minutes because there is so much heat still in the oven.

Thanks to the oven insulation, dishes with a longer cooking time (more than an hour) can finish cooking using the residual heat in the oven. Switch the oven off 10 minutes earlier than is indicated, but leave the door shut.

preheating

Preheating is not generally necessary, except for dishes with a cooking time of less than 30 minutes or when the recipe indicates it. You can warm the oven extra quickly using the special preheating setting.

empty oven

Take everything that is not required for cooking out of the oven.

cooling down

Switch the oven off before taking the cooked dish out of it.

oven dishes

You can, in principle, use any dish that is heatproof. Do not rinse glass dishes under cold water directly after use. The sudden temperature difference may cause the glass to crack. Use dark or black baking tins. These conduct heat better and allow the food to cook more evenly.

do not cover the bottom of the oven

Covering the bottom of the oven - for example, with aluminium foil or a baking tray - may result in overheating and damage to the enamel.

setting the time

Select a cooking time 5 minutes shorter than that given in the recipe. This enables you to check whether the dish or cake is cooked and has a good colour before the end. If not, close the oven door and check it again a little later. The door should be opened and closed slowly, and preferably not before three-quarters of the cooking time has elapsed.

keeping warm

You can use the oven to keep warm food that has already been cooked. Select the turbo function and a temperature of 80 °C . Cover food that you want to keep warm, to stop it drying out.

cooking information

roasting

cooking information

grilling

roasting meat

Large pieces of meat weighing more than 1 kg are the most suitable. The meat becomes evenly crisp on the outside, with almost no loss of weight as a result.

- Rub the meat with salt and seasoning 15 minutes beforehand. Use 80 to 100gm of butter or fat (or a mixture of both) per 500gm of meat for roasting.

cooking times

• Flat, thin pieces need on average 5 minutes less cooking time than thick or rolled pieces of meat.
• Larger pieces of meat need 15 to 20 minutes cooking time longer per 500gm of extra weight.

In the table on page 16 you will find the roasting temperatures for various types of meat with a weight of approx. 1.5 kg.

cooking

• Place the meat in a roasting tin and pour hot butter and/or fat over it. If the meat has a layer of fat, place this facing upwards during roasting. Baste meat without a layer of fat every 15 minutes. Baste meat with a layer of fat every 30 minutes.
• If the gravy becomes too dark, add a few spoonfuls of water every now and then during roasting.
• After cooking, allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes – covered with aluminium foil – before carving it.

general tips

• When grilling meat, game, poultry and fish, the meat or fish is sealed immediately, preserving the nutrients and flavour. Butter and oil are not necessary, therefore. Thick pieces of small cuts of meat, thin fish steaks or whole fish are the most suitable.
• The skewers are used for even grilling of smaller pieces of meat and vegetables, such as satay, kebabs and shashliks.

tips for meat

• Only use good quality meat. Allow 100-200 gm of meat or 150-250 gm of meat on the bone per person.
• Always place a suitable roasting tin under the food to catch any drips of fat. If necessary, dry the meat with kitchen paper before placing it under the grill.
• For food with a long grilling time, such as rolled meat and chicken, pour ± 250 ml of water into the roasting tin.

tips for fish

• Allow 150-200 gm of steaks or whole fish or 100-150 gm of filleted fish per person. For larger fish, have the head removed.
• Wash the fish. Dry it with kitchen paper. Score thick fish. Place the fish on the grid shelf and slide a roasting tin underneath.

garnishes and sauces

• Garnishes - such as slices of apple, pineapple or tomato halves, for example - can also be grilled.
• Place slices of cheese on the meat at the last minute and allow it to melt. Only salt and pepper the meat after grilling it. How thick the meat is determines its position under the grill. In general, thin pieces of meat should be put in a high position (always at least 5 cm away from the grill) and thicker pieces, which must be cooked right through, somewhat lower.
• Turn thinner pieces of meat with a pair of tongs. Use oven gloves. Do not prick the meat, because this will cause loss of meat juices. In the case of grilled meat, where no gravy is formed, a sauce or herb butter can be served separately if desired.
• Do not cut grilled meat or suchlike immediately, but allow it to cool for a few minutes first. There will then be less loss of meat juices when you do cut it.

labels

These are guidelines. The temperature and time may vary, as they depend among other things on the quantity, type of mould and desired colour.
