Cooking recommendations
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The below tables provide you with the standard settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.

Microwave recommendations

• Place the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity.
• Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.
• Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
• Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.
• Put the food into the oven without any packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into the oven only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging).

Microwave cooking

• Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or cause fire.
• Do not use the oven to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce the yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
• Pierce food with skin or peel with a fork several times before cooking.
• Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
• Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
• Stir the food before serving.
• After you turn off the oven, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes.

Microwave defrosting

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can run off.
• Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave power.

Microwave suitable cookware and materials
For the microwave use only suitable cookware and materials. Use below table as a reference.

Baking

• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally.
• There is no need to change the temperature setting if an unequal browning occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays become cold again, the distortions disappear.

Tips on baking

Baking results	Possible cause	Remedy
The bottom of the cake is not browned suffi- ciently.	The shelf position is incor- rect.	Put the cake on a lower shelf.

Baking results	Possible cause	Remedy
The cake sinks and be- comes soggy, lumpy or streaky.	The oven temperature is too high.	The next time you bake, set a slightly lower oven temperature.
	The baking time is too short.	Set a longer baking time. You cannot decrease baking times by setting higher temperatures.
	There is too much liquid in the mixture.	Use less liquid. Be careful with mixing times, especially if you use a mixing machine.
The cake is too dry.	The oven temperature is too low.	The next time you bake, set a higher oven temperature.
	The baking time is too long.	The next time you bake, set a shorter baking time.
The cake browns un- evenly.	The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.	Set a lower oven temperature and a longer baking time.
	The mixture is unevenly dis- tributed.	Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray.
The cake is not ready in the baking time given.	The oven temperature is too low.	The next time you bake, set a slightly higher oven temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

Notes on cleaning

• Clean the front of the oven with a soft cloth with warm water and a mild cleaning agent.
• To clean metal surfaces, use a dedicated cleaning agent.
• Clean the oven interior after each use.
• Fat accumulation or other food remains may result in a fire.
• Clean the cavity roof carefully from food residuals and fat.
• Clean all accessories after each use and let them dry. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning agent.
• Clean stubborn dirt with a special oven cleaner.
• 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.
• Clean the moisture from the cavity after each use.

Removing the shelf supports

Before maintenance, make sure that the oven is cool. There is a risk of burns.

To clean the oven, remove the shelf supports.

1. Pull carefully the supports up and out of the front catch.
2. Pull the front end of the shelf support away from the side wall.
3. Pull the supports out of the rear catch.

Install the shelf supports in the opposite sequence.

Replacing the lamp
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock. The lamp can be hot.

1. Turn off the oven.
   Wait until the oven is cooled down.
2. Disconnect the oven from the mains.
3. Put a cloth on the bottom of the cavity.

CAUTION!
Always hold the halogen lamp with a cloth to prevent grease residue from burning on the lamp.

The top lamp

1. Turn the lamp glass cover to remove it.
2. Clean the glass cover.
3. Replace the lamp with a suitable 300 °C heat-resistant lamp.
4. Install the glass cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
What to do if…

Service data

• If you cannot find a solution to the problem yourself, contact your dealer or an Authorised Service Centre.
• The necessary data for the service centre is on the rating plate. The rating plate is on the front frame of the oven cavity.
• Do not remove the rating plate from the oven cavity.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

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 oven 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, but only when you use a nonmicrowave function.
• 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.

Residual heat

• If a programme with the Duration or End Time selection is activated and the cooking time is longer than 30 minutes, the heating elements automatically deactivate earlier in some oven functions.
• The fan and lamp continue to operate.

Keep food warm

• Choose the lowest possible temperature setting to use residual heat and keep a meal warm.
• The residual heat indicator or temperature appears on the display.
