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.
Hints and Tips
Telescopic shelf supports
The oven shelf supports are provided with telescopic
shelf supports at level 2 and 4 from the bottom.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf
supports completely out, as shown in the
diagram.
2. Place the shelf or the dripping pan on the
telescopic shelf supports, as shown in the
diagram, then gently push them all inside
the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
The anti-tip shelf is not designed for use on
the telescopic shelf supports.
Please, do not use the anti-tip shelf on the
telescopic shelf supports, as it will be
unstable and may fall.

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.
