Usage, Tables and Tips
Baking
Oven function: Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking or Conventional Cooking
Baking tins
• For Conventional Cooking dark metal and non-stick tins are suita-
ble.
• For Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking bright metal tins are also
suitable.
Oven levels
• Baking with Conventional Cooking is possible on one oven level.
• Using Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking you can bake on up to 3
baking trays at the same time:
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3
3 baking trays:
oven levels 1, 3 and 5
27
General Instructions
• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
• With Conventional Cooking or Ventitherm ® Precision
Fan Cooking 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.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cook-
ing. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the
freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays
have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and
oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the
type of baking tin.
• We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then
if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking
time is too long, selecting a higher temperature.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
• If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on more than one level, baking
time can be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist recipes (for g. pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate
at first. If this occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.
2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 min-
utes before the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual
heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
cooking is started with the oven cold.

Roasting
Oven function: Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking , Conventional Cooking or Rotitherm Roasting .
Roasting dishes
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable for roasting. (Please read the
manufacturer's instructions.)
• Large roasting joints can be cooked directly in the tray or on the
shelf with the tray placed below
• For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tray
with a lid. This makes the meat more succulent.
• All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be
roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.
3 Tips on using the roasting chart
The figures in the following table are for guidance only.
• We recommend cooking meat and fish over 1 kg in weight in the
oven.
• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan,
we recommend placing some water in the roasting pan.
• Turn the meat as required (after about 1/2 - 2/3 of cooking time).
• Baste large roasting joints and poultry several times during the cook-
ing time. This will give better roasting results.
• Switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes prior to the end of the cooking time in order to use the residual heat.

Making preserves
Oven function: Pizza Setting
• 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, use the first shelf position from the bot-
tom.
• 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.
• Place the jars on the shelf in such a way that they are not touching
each other.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the shelf, so that there is sufficient moisture in the oven.
• As soon as the liquid in the first jars starts to simmer (after approx.
35-60 minutes for 1 litre jars), switch off the oven or adjust the temperature to 100°C (see table).

fied service engineers. Considerable danger to the user may result from
improper repairs.
3 If the appliance has been wrongly operated, the visit from the customer
service technician or dealer may not take place free of charge, even
during the warranty period.
3 Advice on cookers with metal fronts:
Because of the cold surface at the front of the cooker, opening the
oven door during (or just after) baking or roasting may cause the
glass to steam up.
52
Electrical Connection
The oven is designed to be connected to 230-240V~(50Hz) electricity
supply.
The oven has an easily accessible terminal block which is marked as
follows:
Letter L - Live terminal
Letter N - Neutral terminal
E - Earth terminal
1 This oven must be earthed!
The cable used to connect the oven to the electrical supply must
comply to the specifications given below.

It is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the oven
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required
load in compliance with the current regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any
point.
Important
After installation and connecting, the cable must be placed so that it
cannot at any point reach a temperature of more than 50°C above the
ambient temperature.
Before the oven is connected, check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the load; and that the power supply is properly earthed.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should these safety
measures not be carried out.
