COOKING ADVICE
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is neces- sary to remember:
–that it is advisable to maintain a tem- perature between 180 and 200 °C.
–that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The
position 
and 
gives simultaneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavours.
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 precautions 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.
This type of cooking saves time and energy.
GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”
Set the switch to position 
.
Set the temperature knob to 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the shelf.
Close the door and let the oven operate until grilling is complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.
Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes. Introduce the food to be cooked, posi- tioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The drip tray should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
Grill with the oven door closed.
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.
