Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

- Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Before operation completely unwind the power cord. Do not use any extension cord or multi socket outlet.

The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

- Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young children are near. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet. Do not touch the plug or appliance with wet hands, when the plug is connected to the power supply.

First use

Unpack the appliance carefully and check, if there are any parts damaged or missing.

CAUTION: It is important to carefully remove all packing and shipping materials as well as any price-tags, but do not remove any warning or model labels on the appliance. Ensure that there are no foreign objects (i.e. packing materials) inside the oven before operating the appliance. Wash all parts as instructed in the 'Care and Cleaning' section and insert the crumb tray.

The heating elements were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the oven is first used. This is entirely safe and will stop after a few minutes. However, so that the food does not taste of this smoke, we recommend that you take the following action before using the appliance for the first time.

If the burnt smell occurs again on later use, clean the oven (see: 'Care and Cleaning'). If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even after thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return the appliance to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.

WARNING: Turn off the appliance, unplug from wall outlet and let it cool down before cleaning. Clean the inside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A little detergent can be added if the appliance is heavily soiled. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may harm the coating. Dry with paper towel or soft cloth.

Tips for baking time and baking temperature

• Preheat the oven and the baking dish for the meat.
- Small pieces with short cooking time should have room temperature. Do not put the meat straight into the oven after taking it out of the fridge.

- Before you start baking with low temperature you should sauté the meat in a frying pan from all sides. The pores of the meat have to close and the outside should become a crust. Sauté small pieces of meat. Roast bigger pieces of meat gently with a lower temperature. Season the meat with salt and pepper directly in the frying pan and not before hand.

- Do not sauté too many pieces of meat at a time. The discharge of liquid should be able to evaporate immediately. If the liquid stays in the frying pan too long the meat starts to simmer instead of roasting.

- Roast small portions at a time and ensure the frying pan is really hot before putting in the next load of meat.

- After roasting the meat shortly in the frying pan you can finish cooking the meat in the oven at 70^ to 80^ (refer to recipe and cooking time table). Keep a constant oven temperature.

- The cooking time of a piece of meat depends on the thickness of the roast and the oven temperature. You can use a cooking thermometer to get the same cooking results. Penetrate the cooking thermometer into the thickest part of the piece of meat to check the temperature inside the roast. This way you can easily check if the meat is still rare (too cold) or too dry (cooked thoroughly).

- The higher the temperature of the oven the more weight the roast will loose. 130^ at convection heat and 145^ at heat from above and below are high enough.

- If the roast has no crust or looks to light in colour from the outside after the core temperature is reached you can turn up the temperature of the oven to 175°C- 205°C and cook the roast for another 20 minutes.

- When the roast is finished you can keep the roast warm for 25 to maximum 45 minutes. Turn the oven to 70^ . Serve the roast on warm dishes.

Cooking table for low temperture baking

You can reduce the long cooking time when you sauté the meat in a frying pan before cooking it (refer to the cooking table). Sauté small pieces of meat twice as long on the first side then on the other side but keep the cooking time. The optimum core temperature is between 65^ C (rare) and 75^ C (well done).
