7. COOKING HINTS
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
NOTE
: During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium 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, place it so that it
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 90/100°F above the cooking temperature. This
considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
7.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 120° TO 500°F
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food
on a single level. You have to pre-heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in
the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. 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 you
need to take 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 fat splashing and dirtying the sides of the oven.
