5.1Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH

FROM 50° TO 250°C

This classic cooking system, with the heat coming from below and above, is suited to cooking foods on one level only. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and put the food in the oven only after the thermostat light has gone out.

Deep-frozen meat can be put directly into the oven without defrosting. The only precaution to take is to select lower temperatures, around 20°C, and cooking times about 1/4 longer than fresh meat cooking times. Very fat meat can be put in when the oven is still cold.

5.2Hot-air cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH

FROM 50° TO 250°C

This system is suitable for cooking different foods and on more than one level (fish, meat etc.) without mixing of tastes and smells.

The circulation of air in the oven ensures uniform heat. No preheating is required.

5.3Grill cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH AT MAXIMUM

AND DOOR CLOSED

This permits rapid golden-browning of foods. For longer cooking periods and grilling on wide surfaces it is better to insert the grill on a lower guide-slot, depending on the size of the pieces to be cooked.
