This traditional cooking system where heat flows from both above and below is suitable for cooking food on one level only. The oven must be preheated until the preset temperature has been reached. Only place the food in the oven after the thermostat indicator light has gone out. Very fat meats can be placed in the oven while this is still cold. Place frozen meat directly in the oven without defrosting. The only precaution to be taken is to choose approx. 20 °C lower temperatures and approx. 1/4 longer cooking times.

Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and dirtying the sides of the oven.
