Operating Instructions

Roasting

For roasting, use the FAN COOKING, ROTITHERM or CONVENTIONAL oven function.

Roasting dishes

Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting.

If the dish has plastic handles, ensure that the handles are heat-re- sistant.

Large roasts can be roasted directly on the universal sheet or on the shelf with the universal sheet underneath (e.g. turkey, goose, 3-4 chickens, 3-4 knuckles).

When roasting meat choose a dish which is just a little larger than the joint itself to retain the juices in a small area thus preventing fat from spitting and soiling the oven.

We recommend roasting all lean types of meat in a casserole with a lid (e.g. veal, pork or beef pot roasts, frozen meat). This way the meat will remain moist.

You can roast all types of meat that should have a crispy exterior in a casserole without a lid (e.g. pork, meat loaf, lamb, duck,

1-2 knuckles, 1-2 chickens, small poultry, sirloin, fillet, game).

Tip: If you use dishes for roasting (particularly for small amounts), the oven will not get so dirty!

Shelf positions

Please see the following table for the shelf positions to use.

Notes on the roasting tables

Information is given in the table on suitable oven functions, tempera- ture settings, cooking times and shelf positions for various types of meat. The cooking times are for guidance only.

We recommend roasting meat and fish in the oven from a weight of 1 kg.

In general the CONVENTIONAL function is suitable for very lean meat, fish and game.

For all other types of meat (particularly poultry) we recommend the ROTITHERM function, if you are just roasting meat without cooking any other type of food in the oven at the same time.

If you wish to roast meat and cook other dishes at the same time, use the FAN COOKING function.
