Cooking advice

When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan GB should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be

inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food needs more heat from the top or bottom.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required for leavened foods), we recommend using the "conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After the oven has been preheated, the thermostat light will turn off. At this point, you can select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.

Cooking Fish and Meat

Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Cooking Pastries

Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from dropping.

The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the cooking time is not excessive. In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour.

I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Using the Grill

Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected by turning the SELECTOR knob in a

clockwise direction to align the symbols with the mark on the control panel. The VARIABLE GRILL knob is positioned to right of the SELECTOR knob. This knob will provide varying grill temperatures when rotated from “max” to “min” and may be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the grilling operation.

To operate the grill

1.Turn the SELECTOR knob clockwise until the required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the control panel. The element is now “on”.

2.The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated to select the required heat.

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack level.

WARNING! The oven is

provided with a stop sys-

tem to extract the racks

and prevent them from

coming out of the oven.(1)

As shown in the drawing,

to extract them comple-

tely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).
