Oven Door Protection Device

All our appliances comply with the
European safety standards. Nevertheless,
in order to ensure the highest safety
level, and avoid little children to be
exposed to the heat when the appliance
is operated, it is possible to fit a special
ptotection device to the oven door. This
device can be purchased in our Service
Force Centres, specifying the relevant
code (35791) and the Product No. shown
on the rating plate.
Fitting instructions are provided within
the kit package.

Hints and Tips

i

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand

temperatures of 250°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 cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.

A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and

bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
