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. 6 Using the oven Always cook with the oven door closed Conventional cooking Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C).
