Practical Cooking Advice

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the case when cooking leavened foods) the "Ventilation mode" can be used to reach the desired temperaure as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.

Using the Grill

The Multifunction oven offers you three different grilling modes (see page 4).

Use the Grill” setting for grilling in perfect mode small portions like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc., to perfection.

The "Maxigrill" Position is the best for grilling foods rapidly. For a better distribuction of heat, not only to brown the surface but olso to cook the botton part,

select Ventilated Maxigrill” function.

This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process.

Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results and to save energy (10% circa).

When using any of the three grilling modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob be turned to the 175°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which utilizes infrared rays).

If necessary, however, the thermostat can be set to lower temperatures by simply turning the knob to the desired setting.

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red "E" light will turn off). Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping.

Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour.
