Applying lower heater/ Aqua Clean
Heat is applied only by the bottom side of the oven. Use this
option for browning the bottom side of the food (baking heavy,
moist pastry with fruit dressing). The temperature selection
button in such cases may be selected as required.
Lower heater may also be used for the cleaning of oven. You
will find details in the section Cleaning and maintenance.

Oven guide levels

Baking pans and accessories (oven grid, grease receptacle,
baking tray, etc.) may be inserted into the oven in 5 guiding
levels. Appropriate levels are indicated in the tables that follow.
Always count levels from the bottom upwards! In case of wire
guides, the grid and the baking pans must always be inserted
in the guide slides.

Oven accessories

(differ according to different models)
Oven grid shelf for placing pans and trays, or for food to be
prepared using the grill.
Flat biscuit tray for baking cake and biscuits.
Dripping grease receptacle
(deep tray) for moist cake, for roasting or for intercepting
dripping oil/grease.
Note! Deep roasting pan used for intercepting the dripping
juice and grease during roasting, may not be inserted into the
first bottom level guide.

Grease filter

Inserted grease filter at the rear panel of the oven protects the
fan, the heater and the oven from accidental staining with
grease. Always insert the filter when roasting or grilling, and
remove the filter when baking pastry. Grease filter might cause
unsuccessful baking of some kinds of pastry.

Baking pastry

Most appropriate position for baking is the application of both
upper and lower heater, or the hot air.
Note! Grease filter must always be removed!
Warnings
• When baking pastry, strictly follow the instructions regarding
the selection of guide level, temperature and baking time,
and do not rely on any previous experience, because
information indicated in the baking tables have been
determined and tested specially for this particular type of
oven.
• In case you may not find any particular type of cake in the
tables, use the information available for the next most similar
type of cake.
Baking with upper and lower heater
• Use only a single guide level.
• This baking position is especially suitable for baking dry
pastry, bread and teacakes.Use dark baking pans. Light
pans reflect heat and pastry is not adequately browned.
• Always place baking pans on the grid rack. Remove the grid
only if baking in the flat biscuit tray, supplied with the
appliance.
• Preheating shortens the baking time. Do not put the cake in
the oven until proper temperature is obtained, and until the
red signal lamp goes off for the first time.
Baking with hot air
• This mode of baking is especially suitable for baking at
multiple levels, for moist pastry and fruit cakes.
• You may use light models.
• The temperature is usually lower than baking with
upper/lower heater (see Baking Table).
• Moist pastry (i.e. fruit cake) may be baked at maximum two
levels at the same time, because of excessive humidity.
• Different cakes may be baked together if the necessary
temperature is approximately the same.
• Baking time may be different for different pastry, so you may
have to take one pan out before the others.
• Cookies, like for example muffins, should be of equal size
and thickness. Uneven cookies are baked unevenly.
• If you bake more than one cake at the same time, it may
produce excessive steaming in the oven and condensation
at the oven door.
Baking tips
Is pastry baked?
Pierce the cake with a wooden peg at the thickest part. If the
dough does not stick to it, the cake is baked. You may switch
off the oven and use the remaining heat.
Pastry has fallen
Check the recipe. Use less fluids next time. Follow the mixing
times, especially when using powered kitchen mixers.
Pastry is too light below
Use dark baking pan next time, or place the pan one level
lower, or switch on the lower heater a while before the
completion.
Cheese cake is undercooked
Next time reduce the baking temperature and extend the
baking time.
Warnings regarding the baking tables:
• The tables indicate the temperature range. Always select
lower temperature first. You may always increase the
temperature in case pastry needs more baking.
• Baking times are indicative only. They may vary in
dependence of individual characteristics.
• The asterix indicates that the oven requires preheating.
