The oven has five shelf positions, counted from the bottom. Cooking results may vary from previous appliances. The tables provide standard settings.

The oven circulates air and recycles steam for a moist environment, keeping food soft inside and crusty outside, reducing cooking time and energy consumption.

• Baking Cakes: Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cooking time is up.

11.2 Baking and Roasting

• Multiple Trays: If using two baking trays, leave one empty level between them.
• Cooking Meat and Fish: Use a deep pan for fatty foods to prevent stains. Let meat rest for 15 minutes before carving. Add water to the deep pan during roasting to reduce smoke.
• Cooking Times: Times vary by food type, consistency, and volume. Monitor performance and adjust settings for your cookware and recipes.
