over-heated. For the same
reason, be careful when placing or
removing food in the oven, not to
let any fat or oil fall on the oven
base. If this happens, carefully
clean the oven to avoid
unpleasant smells or smoke.
Condensation and Steam
The oven is supplied with an exclusive
system which produces a natural circula-
tion of air and the constant recycling of
steam. This system makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment and keep
the dishes soft inside and crusty outside.
Moreover, the cooking time and energy
consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced
which can be released when opening the
oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back
from the oven when opening
the oven door during cooking
or at the end of it to allow any
build up of steam or heat to
release.
When food is heated, it produces
steam in the same way as a
boiling kettle does. When steam
comes in contact of the oven door
glass it will condense and
produce water droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure
the oven is well heated before
placing food in the oven cavity. A
short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary
before any cooking. We
recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of
the appliance.
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which
will withstand temperatures of
230°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
should not be placed directly against
the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven
base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than
30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they
will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on cook-
ing results
Dishes and tins vary in their thick-
ness, conductivity, colour, etc. which
affects the way they transmit heat to the
food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glass-
ware and bright shiny utensils reduce
cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized alu-
minium, aluminium with non-stick in-
terior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and
base browning.
