PREPARATION TIPS

General Suggestions
• We suggest to preheat the oven before the food is put into the oven.
• Normally, it is impossible to shorten the cooking time by increasing the temperature
(food may be well cooked outside, but not yet inside).
• If cooking is done on several slide-in levels simultaneously, it is recommended to
use a convection mode to ensure even cooking on all slide-in levels
• To achieve the best cooking effect, the use of suitable cookware is recommended.
These should always be placed in the middle of the baking tray or grate.
• To prevent excessive condensation from forming on the inside of the glass, do not
leave hot food in the oven for a long time after cooking.
Tips for Cooking Meat
• The cooking time of food, especially meat, varies with the thickness and quality of
the meat and the taste of the user.
• We suggest using meat thermometers when cooking meat. (The thermometer is not
supplied with the oven.)
• If necessary, the meat can be wrapped in aluminium foil for cooking to make it
more tender.
Tips for Baking Cake and Biscuits
• Dark metal moulds are best suited for baking cakes, as they can absorb the heat
better.
• The temperature and cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the
dough.
• To check whether the cake is ready, prick the top of the cake with a metal stick and
pull it out again immediately. If no dough has stuck to the metal stick, then the cake
is ready.
• If the cake collapses when you take it out of the oven, you can extend the baking
time accordingly. If necessary, the baking temperature can also be reduced by
about 10 °C.
Tips for Thawing
• Place frozen food in a cookware without cover for thawing in the oven.
• Food must be removed from the packaging before thawing.
• Only thaw on one slide-in level and make sure that the food does not overlap.
• When thawing meat, it is recommended that you place the meat on the grate on the
second slide-in level and place the baking tray on the first slide-in level to catch the
liquid of the frozen food.
