Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following are only a guide, which may be varied according to your own personal taste.

Cooking on More Than One Shelf

If you have to cook food on several shelves, use either the

“fan” mode or the “Multi-cooking”mode, as these are the only modes that allow you to do so.

When cooking delicate food on more than one shelf, use the “fan” mode, which allows you to cook on 3 shelves at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom). Some examples are included in the “Cooking Chart”.

When cooking other food on several shelves, use the “Multi-cooking”mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:

•The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central shelves; the low- est and highest shelves receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these shelves.

•As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom.

•When cooking food that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.

•Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the shelf on the upper;

Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode

Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use frozen or pre-cooked food along with other food items. You will find useful suggestions in the “Cooking Chart” .

Using the Grill

The “7 Chefs” oven offers you several different grilling modes.

Use the “grill” mode, with the oven door ajar, placing the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom).

When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem- perature control to the highest setting. Lower tempera- tures can also be set, simply by setting the temperature control to the temperature required.

Setting “Fan grilling”, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.

Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes.

When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd shelf position from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a baking tray on the 1st shelf position from the bottom.

Important: always cook in “Fan grilling” mode with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).

When using this mode, we advise you to set the tempera- ture control to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. How- ever, this does not mean you cannot use lower tempera- tures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the de- sired temperature.
