When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by fault of the oven. We recommend you to wipe away condensation after all cookings.

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 (see Fig. 5) 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). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is recommended.
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. This function uses the top and bottom elements to give single level cooking. If you need more heat from the bottom or from the top, you can adjust the shelf on the lower or higher positions. (See Fig. 5)
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven. If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (See Fig. 5). If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Hints and Tips on baking
between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass. Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position (symbol : l). The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.
