Practical Cooking Advice

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the

case when cooking leavened foods), the “pizza

mode” (setting three) can be used to reach the desired

temperature as quickly as possible in order to save

on energy. Once the food has been placed in the

oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be

selected.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same

time, use only setting

“ventilated mode,” which is

the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.

The rack heights used should be the three centre

ones, as the bottom and top racks receive too much

direct heat, which could burn more delicate foods. If

three racks are used at the same time, the food on the

middle rack will take a little longer to cook. Therefore,

leave it in the oven for an additional few minutes. If

you are preparing a complete meal with all three racks

at the same time, place the dish that calls for a lower

cooking temperature (generally pastries) on the middle

rack.

Using the Grill

The oven allows you to use two different grilling

methods.

Use the setting

“Top Element” for small

portions. Energy consumption for this feature is only

1200 W; however, it is ideal for grilling small dishes or

portions, e.g. toast, frankfurters, etc.

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

centre of the heating element is turned on. Food in the

corners of the oven will not be cooked.

The setting

“Grill” allows you to grill along the

entire surface area of the grill itself. Use this feature

when you have food distributed uniformly beneath the

grill and you want it to be browned evenly.

Important: Always leave the oven door closed when

using the grill setting n order to achieve the best

results and save on energy (about 10%).

When using the grill settings, it is recommended

that the thermostat be set to maximum, as this is the

optimal setting for the grill, which utilizes radiation

produced by infrared rays. However, this does not

mean that lower temperature settings cannot be used

when necessary by simply turning the control knob.

When using the grill, place the rack at the 4 rack

heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan

beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from falling

onto the bottom of the oven.

Setting

“Ventilated Grill”, is extremely useful for

grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes

it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to

cook the bottom part. It can also be used to grill large

pieces of meat or fowl. Moreover, it can also be used

for browning foods at the end of the cooking process.

When using this function, place the grid on the 2nd

or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table)

then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the

bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place

a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom. When

using this function together with the spit (only on some

models), you can also cook dishes on the dripping-

pan situated on the 1st rack, for example: potatoes,

etc…….

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven

after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until

the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red

“O” light will turn off). The temperature is normally

around 160°C. Do not open the door while the pastry

is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping. Batters

must not be too runny,

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use setting 3

“The Pizza Oven”:

• Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes;

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the

broiler supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan

is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it

difficult to get a crispy crust;

• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza

is cooking;

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it

is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be

placed on top halfway through the cooking process.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low

temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must

be superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is

advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)

for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.

Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower

the temperature and the longer the cooking time

should be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and

put a spill-tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert

the grid so that it is in the middle of the oven. If more

heat from below is required,
