8.1 COOKING HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS ON USING THE ACCESSORIES:
• Use only SMEG original trays.
• When the tray is in the oven, the handle must be facing
the oven door.
• Push the trays right inside the oven.
• Use only SMEG original racks.
• When the rack is in the oven, the contoured part must be
facing downwards.
• Push the racks right inside the oven.
• Use only SMEG original racks.
• Push the racks right inside the oven.
• For best cooking results, we recommend placing
kitchenware in the centre of the rack.
GENERAL HINTS:
• We recommend preheating the oven before putting
the food in. Do not place the foods inside the oven until
the degrees symbol on the display stops flashing and
the beep has sounded to confirm that the set temperature
has been reached.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a
ventilated function to achieve uniform cooking at all
heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-
cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• During the cooking of desserts and vegetables, dripping
from the bottom of the door could occur. This is a natural
physical phenomenon which mainly occurs when the food
is placed in the oven before preheating. To avoid this,
open the door a couple of times during the cooking taking
great care.
