8. COOKING HINTS
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
NOTE
: During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum or tin foil and do not place pans or
oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that
it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
In fan-assisted mode, the oven should be preheated at 90-100°F above the cooking temperature. This
considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
8.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR FROM 120° TO 500°F
This traditional cooking system, with the heat circulating bottom to top, is ideal for cooking food on a
single rack. Preheat the oven to the desired temperature and put the food in the oven only after the
thermostat light has gone out. Very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat
in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution that should be taken is to set the
temperature about 70°F lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
NOTE: Use high-rim pans to prevent grease/fat from splashing and dirtying the sides
of the oven.
8.2 Convection cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR FROM 120° TO 500°F
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.),
without the tastes and smells mixing. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat.
Pre-heating is not necessary.
