7.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner
of the oven.
The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second
runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way,
the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of
the oven.
7.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the
oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you
preheat the oven before grilling.
7.2 To save energy
To save energy during use of the appliance, the following instructions may be
followed:
Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated
inside the oven.
Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
Use the ECO function (on some models only) for cooking on a single runner.
Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
