Traditional, fan and grill cookings

Conventional cooking

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant

symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

If your dish need more heat from the top or from the bottom adjust the shelf level as required (see Fig. 11).

The Fan Oven ()

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant

symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven.

If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (See Fig. 11).

If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results.

Defrosting

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF

position (symbol : ●).

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.

Grilling

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant

symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

Place the oven shelf as shown in Fig. 12.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom (see Fig. 7) with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base.

White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe- rature (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is recommended.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C.

Ashort oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them.

In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness.

Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.
