11. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

11.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTIONS SWITCH

THERMOSTAT

50 ÷ 250 °C

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/ 4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

11.2 Hot-air cooking

FUNCTIONS SWITCH

THERMOSTAT

50 ÷ 250 °C

This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.), without tastes and smells mingling. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform heating.

Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the different foods is the same.
