10. COOKING ADVICE

The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.

The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.

10.1 Conventional cooking (left/right oven)

FUNCTION SELECTOR

THERMOSTAT SET AT 50 - 250°C

THERMOSTAT SET AT 50 -220°C

This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated to the preset temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the thermostat light goes out. Very fatty meats can be placed inside the oven when it is still cold. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.

Use deep containers to prevent splashes from dirtying the sides of the oven.
