9.4 Defrosting
THERMOSTAT IN POSITION
The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter
the taste and appearance of the food.
9.5 Traditional cooking
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
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 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and
dirtying the sides of the oven.
