6. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking

6.1 Traditional cooking (multifunction models)

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

50 250°C

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre- heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

6.2 Hot-air cooking (multifunction models)
