Using the Oven Control
Function Description
Defrost Function
Defrost function can be started by placing the frozen food into
your oven and turning the oven control to the defrost sign
or below. This function does not cook the food only the fan
operates, and this helps to defrost the food in a very short time.
Put the food to be defrosted on the shelf in the third guide slot
position and place a tray onto a shelf on the bottom guide slot
position to collect the water during defrost.

Adjusting the temperature
This design spreads the heated air equally in the oven and it is
suitable for cooking with one or more trays.
Turn the oven control to the desired temperature. It is
recommended to preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Place the tray
on the shelf.
At the end of cooking time, as in all other cooking processes;
turn the oven control to off. Take the cooking tray out and put it
onto a safe place. Keep children away from the hot oven during
and after cooking, until it has completely cooled down.
Baking Tips
1. Always place baking tins in the centre of the wire shelf.
2. Make sure you use bakeware that is oven proof.
3. Do not place bakeware too close to the rear of the oven wall.
4. You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting.
5. If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven:
• Use less liquid on your next attempt.
• Consider using a longer baking time or use a slightly lower temperature setting.
Energy Saving
To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend these hints:
• Preheat the oven only if expressly required by the recipe or guidelines.
• Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat absorption.
• In the case of longer baking times, you can switch off the oven 5–10 minutes before the full
baking time and use the residual heat. This will reduce energy usage.
• Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time.
• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls at the same time.
• Select the correct shelf location for the food being cooked.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
