crease cooking and base browning.
Cooking fish and meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or
directly on the oven shelf. In this case, re-
member to place the drip tray in the first po-
sition from the bottom with some water in it.
The dripping pan will avoid the falling of mel-
ted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need
to be cooked at a medium temperature (be-
tween 150
°
C and 175
°
C). If you need to
cook red meat (slightly browned on the out-
side and more gently cooked in the inside), a
higher temperature (between 200
°
C and
230
°
C) for a short time is recommended.
Baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medi-
um temperature (between 150
°
C and 200
°
C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes)
is recommended 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.
Grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them
directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil
on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the
top element. Therefore, you need to adjust
the cooking level depending on meat or fish's
thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan
in the lower position with some water in it.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the type of
food to be cooked, its consistency, and vol-
ume. We suggest that you take particular
note of your first cooking experiments with
the oven, since operating in the same con-
ditions for the same dishes you will of course
obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make the
appropriate changes to values given on
charts.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and cir-
culates the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven. This increases the speed of de-
frosting. However, please note that the tem-
perature of the kitchen will influence the
speed of defrosting. This function is particu-
larly suitable for delicate food which could be
damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
How to use defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to
and set the thermostat control knob to the
OFF position
