5. Cooking hints

5.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This classic cooking system, with the heat coming from below and above, is suited to
cooking foods on one level only. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and
put the food in the oven only after the thermostat light has gone out.
Deep-frozen meat can be put directly into the oven without defrosting. The only
precaution to take is to select lower temperatures, around 20°C, and cooking times
about 1/4 longer than fresh meat cooking times. Very fat meat can be put in when the
oven is still cold.
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is suitable for
cooking meat and fish on just one shelf, with lengthy cooking times. Warm up the oven
to the preset temperature and do not place the food inside until the thermostat light
goes out. In this function cooking times are about 50% longer than with conventional
static cooking methods.
