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 drip tray
in the first position from the bottom 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 to be
cooked at a medium temperature (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
temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera-
ture (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.
When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the appliance.
Hints and Tips
Always cook with the oven door closed.
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft
inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time
and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely
normal.
However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking
or at the end of it to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
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.
When using the Thermal Grill Function, select
a maximum temperature of 200°C
Warning! - Do not place objects on the bottom of
the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil
while cooking, as you can damage the enamelled
surfaces and the food you are cooking.
Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and
aluminium foils on the oven shelves.
Warning! - Be careful when you insert and extract
the grid and the drip tray from the oven in order
not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven
cavity.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be
cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that
you take particular note of your first cooking experiments
with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for
the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate
changes to values given on charts.
