Cooking Advice
Sterilization
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way: a. Set the switch to position 
.
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven. c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.
Regeneration
Set the switch to position 
and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods
The 
and 
gives a simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavors together. This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
The only precaution to follow are:
–The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C.
–The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in relation to the cooking times of each one.
The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.
Grilling and “Au Gratin”
Grilling may be done without the roasting jack on position 
of the switch, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the rack.
Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on position 175 °C, until grilling is done. Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
