The oven thermostat control knob sets the required temperature of the oven. It is possible to
regulate the temperature within a range of 50 - 250°C. The red heating indicator is on when
the heating element is working.
Before using the oven for the first time
Heating up the oven
To remove the new cooker smell, heat up the oven when it is empty and closed. An hour of
Top/bottom heating at 250°C is ideal for this purpose. Ensure that no packaging remnants
have been left in the cooking compartment.
1.
Use the function selector to set Top/bottom heating.
2.
Set the temperature selector to 250°C. After an hour, switch off the oven. To do so, turn
the function selector to the off position.
Cleaning the accessories
Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them thoroughly with hot soapy water
and a soft dish cloth.
Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological
way, and to save energy:
•
Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in the oven since the heat
transmission will be better.
•
While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in
the user manual or cooking instructions.
•
Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking.
•
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the same time, whenever
possible. You can cook by placing two cooking vessels onto the wire grill.
•
Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot.
•
You can save energy by switching off your oven a few minutes before the
cooking time. Do not open the oven door.
•
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
