Functions of the oven
4.5 Helpful hints
❖ We recommend to use the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance.
❖ It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else. 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).The use of such tins can
result in under-cooking the base of cakes.
❖ Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden stick
(when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after having been
inserted in the cake).
❖ When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
❖ Cook meat with a weight of more than 1 kg in the oven. Cook smaller pieces of food
on the hob.
❖ Use oven-proof cookware only. Check that their handles also are oven-proof.
❖ When you cook meat on a grillage, insert a drip tray with a small amount of water in
the oven (minimum rack height).
❖ Turn over meat at least once.
❖ Never pour cold water on the meat.
