5.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This classic cooking system, with the heat coming from below and above, is suited to
cooking foods on one level only. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and
put the food in the oven only after the thermostat light has gone out.
Deep-frozen meat can be put directly into the oven without defrosting. The only
precaution to take is to select lower temperatures, around 20°C, and cooking times
about 1/4 longer than fresh meat cooking times. Very fat meat can be put in when the
oven is still cold.
5.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This system is suitable for cooking different foods and on more than one level (fish,
meat etc.) without mixing of tastes and smells.
The circulation of air in the oven ensures uniform heat. No preheating is required.
5.3 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH AT MAXIMUM
AND DOOR CLOSED
This permits rapid golden-browning of foods. For longer cooking periods and grilling
on wide surfaces it is better to insert the grill on a lower guide-slot, depending on the
size of the pieces to be cooked.
