Use a solid ingredient to achieve
that. Use the rim of the baking dish
to support the silicone handle of the
Food Sensor. The tip of the Food
Sensor should not touch the bottom
of a baking dish.
4. Cover the Food Sensor with the
remaining ingredients.
5. Put the plug of the Food Sensor into
the socket at the front of the oven.
The display shows: Food Sensor.

10.4 Baking
• Use the lower temperature the first
time.
• You can extend baking times by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally.
There is no need to change the
temperature setting if an unequal
browning occurs. The differences
equalize during baking.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.

Put some water in the tray to prevent the
meat juices or fat from burning.
Meat with crackling can be roasted in the
roasting tin without the lid.
Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the
cooking time.
To keep meat more succulent:
• roast lean meat in the roasting tin with
the lid or use roasting bag.
• roast meat and fish in large pieces (1
kg or more).
• baste large roasts and poultry with
their juices several times during
roasting.

10.15 Slow Cooking
Use this function to prepare lean, tender
pieces of meat and fish with core
temperatures no more than 65 °C. This
function is not applicable to such recipes
as pot roast or fatty roast pork. You can
use the core temperature sensor to
guarantee that the meat has the correct
core temperature (see the table for the
core temperature sensor).
In the first 10 minutes you can set an
oven temperature between 80 °C and
150 °C. The default is 90 °C. After the
temperature is set, the oven continues to
cook at 80 °C. Do not use this function
for poultry.
Always cook without a lid
when you use this function.
1. Sear the meat in a pan on the hob on
a very high setting for 1 - 2 minutes
on each side.
2. Put the meat together with the hot
roasting pan in the oven and on the
wire shelf.
3. Put the core temperature sensor into
the meat.
4. Select the function: Slow Cooking
and set the correct end core
temperature.
Set the temperature to 120 °C.

13.2 Energy saving
The oven contains features
which help you save energy
during everyday cooking.
General hints
Make sure that the oven door is closed
properly when the oven operates. Do not
open the door too often during cooking.
Keep the door gasket clean and make
sure it is well fixed in its position.
Use metal dishes to improve energy
saving.
When possible, do not preheat the oven
before you put the food inside.
When the cooking duration is longer
than 30 minutes, reduce the oven
temperature to minimum 3 - 10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time,
depending on the duration of the
cooking. The residual heat inside the
oven will continue to cook.
Use the residual heat to warm up other
dishes.
Keep breaks between baking as short as
possible when you prepare few dishes at
one time.
ENGLISH
45
Cooking with fan
When possible, use the cooking
functions with fan to save energy.
Residual heat
If a programme with the Duration or End
Time selection is activated and the
cooking time is longer than 30 minutes,
the heating elements automatically
deactivate earlier in some oven
functions.
The fan and lamp continue to operate.
Keep food warm
Choose the lowest possible temperature
setting to use residual heat and keep a
meal warm. The residual heat indicator
or temperature appears on the display.
Cooking with the lamp off
Turn off the lamp during cooking. Turn it
on only when you need it.
Moist Fan Baking
Function designed to save energy during
cooking.
When you use Moist Fan Baking, the
lamp automatically turns off after 30
seconds. You may turn on the lamp again
but this action will reduce the expected
energy savings.
14. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
