Uses, Tables and Tips Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only. Heat setting Cookingprocess Tips/Hints Keeping food warm Keeping cooked foods warm as required Cover Melting Hollandaise sauce, melting butter, chocolate, gelatine 5-25 mins. Stir occasionally Solidifying Fluffy omelettes, baked eggs 10-40 mins. Cook with lid on 1-2 Simmering rice and milkAdd at least twice as based dishes much liquid as rice, stir 25-50 mins.
3 1 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time finish cooking on the desired heat setting. Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby. Baking Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation or Conventional Baking tins • For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable.
3 2 28 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven.

The empty oven should always be pre-heated with the grill functions for 5 minutes. • For grilling, place the shelf in the recommended shelf position.
Defrosting Oven function: Defrost (no temperature setting) • Unwrap the food and place it on a plate on the oven shelf. • Do not cover with a plate or bowl, as these can substantially lengthen the defrosting time. • For defrosting, place the shelf in the 1st oven level from the bottom.
Drying Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation • Use oven shelves covered with greaseproof paper or baking parchment. • You get a better result if you switch the oven off halfway through the drying time, open the door and leave the oven to cool down overnight. • After this finish drying the food to be dried.
Making Preserves Oven function: Bottom heat • For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size. • Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable. • When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one most used. • Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-litre preserving jars. • The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
