6. COOKING HINTS

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

 

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

 

 

NOTE: During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 90/100°F above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

6.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 120° TO 500°F

This classic cooking system, with the heat coming from below and above, is ideal to cook 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 68°F, 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.

6.2 Hot-air cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 120° TO 500°F

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 hot air in the oven ensures uniform heat. No preheating is required.

NOTE: Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the different foods is the same.
