8.1 COOKING HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS ON USING THE ACCESSORIES:
•Use only SMEG original trays.
• When the tray is in the oven, the handle must be facing the oven door.
•Push the trays right inside the oven.
•Use only SMEG original racks.
• When the rack is in the oven, the contoured part must be facing downwards.
•Push the racks right inside the oven.
•Use only SMEG original racks.
•Push the racks right inside the oven.
• For best cooking results, we recommend placing kitchenware in the centre of the rack.
GENERAL HINTS:
•We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not place the foods inside the oven until
the degrees 
symbol on the display stops flashing and the beep has sounded to confirm that the set temperature has been reached.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a ventilated function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.
•In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well- cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
•During the cooking of desserts and vegetables, dripping
from the bottom of the door could occur. This is a natural physical phenomenon which mainly occurs when the food is placed in the oven before preheating. To avoid this, open the door a couple of times during the cooking taking great care.
