Oven cooking
For efficient oven preheating, we recommend that grill trays and racks are
removed from the oven and replaced after about 15 minutes.
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and
introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to
recuperate the stored heat.
