7.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving

We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven.

The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.

Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.

When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.

The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.

For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

7.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill

Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.

With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.

7.2To save energy

To save energy during use of the appliance, the following instructions may be followed:

•Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.

•Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.

•Use the ECO function (on some models only) for cooking on a single runner.

•Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
