Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on
the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the
dripping pan in the first position from the bottom (see
Fig. 7) with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid
the falling of melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe-
rature (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking
results through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top
element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level
depending on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.

Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
If your dish need more heat from the top or from the
bottom adjust the shelf level as required (see Fig. 11).
The Fan Oven ( )
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated
air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven
at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (See Fig. 11).
If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the
lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF
position (symbol : ●).
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
Place the oven shelf as shown in Fig. 12.
