Practical cooking advice

The oven offers a wide range of options, enabling each food

to be cooked in the most suitable way. It takes time to

understand how to get the best out of this versatile appliance,

therefore the notes below are only intended as a set of

guidelines, which may then be expanded as you gain more

personal experience.

Baking cakes

The oven must be preheated when a cake is placed inside;

wait for the preheating phase to finish (approximately 10-15

minutes). Cooking temperatures for cakes vary between 160°C

and 200°C. Do not open the door while you are baking a cake

as this could cause it to collapse.

Cooking fish and meat

Use low temperatures when cooking white meat, game and

fish. (150°C-175°C). If you wish red meat to be cooked well

on the outside but juicy on the inside, start with a high tem-

perature (200-220°C) for a short time and then reduce it. As a

general rule, the more meat there is, the lower the tempera-

ture and the longer the cooking time should be. Place the

meat in the centre of the rack and position a container

underneath to collect drops of fat. Place the rack in the centre

of the oven. If the cooking method requires more heat coming

from below the meat, use the lowest shelf.

Cooking on several shelves simultaneously

Whenever it is necessary to use two racks, only use the

“fan-assisted oven” function, which is really the only option

available when cooking in this manner.

• The oven has 5 different rack positions. Only use the two

central positions when cooking in the fan-assisted mode:

the outer rack positions (higher and lower) receive more

direct heat and more delicate foods may burn.

• In general, use the second and fourth rack positions (when

counting from the bottom of the oven upwards), placing

the food that needs more heat on the second rack position.

For example: if you wish to cook a roast with another

type of food, put the roast on the second rack position

and the more delicate food on the fourth.

• When cooking foods that require different cooking times

and temperatures, set the temperature to a value halfway

between the two recommended values and place the more

delicate food on the fourth rack position. Remove the

food that needs less cooking time first.

• Place the dripping pan on the lowest rack position and

the grill on the highest.

• When cooking pizzas on more than one rack with the

temperature set to 220°C, remember to preheat the oven

for at least 15 minutes. Generally, cooking on the fourth

rack takes longer; for this reason it is advisable to remove

the pizza on the lower shelf first, leaving the other pizza

inside for a few minutes.

Using the grill

The oven offers two different grilling methods: Use the

“top oven” function for small items. The energy consumption

for this mode is only 1200 W. It is therefore ideal for grilling

smaller dishes: for example toast, hot dogs, etc.

Position the food in the centre of the grill, as only the

central part of the top heating element will be switched

on in this mode. Food placed at the corners of the grill

will not be cooked.

The “grill” position enables the whole surface of the

grill to be used. Use this mode when there is a uniform

distribution of food and you wish to brown the top of the food

evenly.

Important: To obtain the best results and to save energy

(approximately 10%), always keep the oven door closed when

using the grill function.

When using the grill function, we recommend that you set

the thermostat to its maximum value. However, this does not

mean that you cannot use lower temperatures.

When using the grill function, position the grill on the highest

shelf (see cooking advice table) and place the dripping pan

underneath it to collect any drips of fat.

The “Fan-assisted grill” position is extremely useful

for grilling foods quickly as it distributes the heat emitted by

the grill, allowing the surface of the food to brown while the

inside is actually being cooked. It enables large pieces of

meat or poultry to be grilled without using the turnspit. It can

also be used in the final part of the cooking process for dishes

that require a little browning on the surface, for example it is

an ideal way of browning the top of a baked pasta dish after

it has been cooked.

When cooking in this mode place the grill on the 2nd or 3rd

rack position from the bottom of the oven (see cooking advice

table), then position a dripping pan on the lowest shelf to

collect drips of fat and avoid the formation of smoke. By

using this mode in conjunction with the spit (selected models

only) it is possible to cook dishes in the dripping pan on the

lowest shelf, for example: potatoes, etc...

Cake is too dry

Next time you bake a cake, set the temperature 10°C

higher and reduce the cooking time.

Cake collapses

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Cake is burnt on to

Place it on a lower rack, set a lower temperature and

extend the cooking time.

Cooked well on the outside, but sticky in the

centre

Use less liquid, reduce the temperature and increase

the cooking time.

Cake sticks to the mould

Grease the mould well and dust with a little flour, or

use baking paper.

Having used several rack positions (in the “fan-

assisted” mode), not all the cakes are cooking at

the same rate

Set a lower temperature.

Racks inserted at the same time should not

necessarily be taken out at the same time.
