COOKING GUIDE • • • • • • • • • • • • F or best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked. The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking dish, except in oven shelf location 1. Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on. Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and ensures even cooking. Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

COOKING GUIDE ROASTING MEAT 1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.) 2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert. Place the meat on the insert. 3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape. 4.

CATALYTIC LINERS (WHERE FITTED) STORAGE COMPARTMENT (SELECTED MODELS) OPERATION The catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating, over a base of regular enamel. This enamel coating has a rough surface which is also porous. During normal cooking, fats and other food spatter is partially absorbed into the surface and then oxidised away. This oxidisation of the fat works best if the oven is set at high temperatures.
