If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven, turn the oven function control knob to (bottom heating element only).

Fan cooking

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol () and set the thermostat knob on the required tempe- rature. The fan behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven.

If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (Fig. 7). If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results.

Grilling

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. With the setting on the "double grill" function, you will obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish.

When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the thinckness of the food.

Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells.

•The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C. Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc.

•Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heatbuild-upwhichcouldaffecttheperformance ofthe oven and damage the oven enamel.

•Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over- heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base.

White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempera- ture (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C.

Ashort oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.
