10.1 Cooking recommendations
The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes
and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The hints below show recom‐
mended settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for specific types of the food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
For more cooking recommendations refer to cooking tables on our website. To find the Cooking
Hints check the PNC number on the rating plate on the front frame of the oven cavity.
23/36
HINTS AND TIPS
10.2 Microwave recommendations
Let's cook!
Place the food on the microwave bottom glass plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Place the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.
Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
Stir the food before serving.
Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.
Put the food into the oven without packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into the
oven only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging).
Microwave cooking
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn
or cause fire.
Do not use the oven to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce the
yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the oven, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow the heat
distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a
defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave
power.

13. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
13.1 Energy saving
The oven has features which help you save energy during everyday cooking.
Make sure that the oven door is closed when the oven operates. Do not open the oven door too
often during cooking. Keep the door gasket clean and make sure it is well fixed in its position.
Use metal cookware to improve energy saving (only when you use a non-microwave function).
When possible, do not preheat the oven before cooking.
Keep breaks between baking as short as possible when you prepare a few dishes at one time.
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 min, the heating elements automatically turn off earlier in some oven functions.
The fan and lamp continue to operate. When you turn off the oven, the display shows the
residual heat. You can use that heat to keep the food warm.
When the cooking duration is longer than 30 min, reduce the oven temperature to minimum 3 -
10 min before the end of cooking. The residual heat inside the oven will continue to cook.
Use the residual heat to warm up other dishes.
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.
