3.5 Cooking advice

To save energy
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.
General advice
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and the quality of the food and
to consumer taste.
• The first few times you use the appliance,
until acquiring sufficient confidence and
knowledge of the required cooking
times, we suggest setting slightly longer
cooking times and testing the food
quickly a little before cooking ends. If it is
not ready, it is anyway possible to
continue to cook it using the remaining
cooking time and without having to add
more water to the reservoir. If, however,
the food is already cooked, it will be
possible to immediately stop cooking
and drain the residual water from the
reservoir.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
