2.5 Cooking tips
General tips
• Use a convection function to achieve
uniform cooking at several levels.
• Increasing the temperature does not
shorten cooking or baking times (the
food will likely be well done on the
outside and undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meats
• Cooking times vary depending on the
thickness and quality of the meat and on
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when cooking
roasts, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it feels hard, it is ready;
otherwise, it needs to roast a bit longer.
Tips for cooking with the broiler and
convection broiler
• The meat can be grilled starting with a
cold oven or with the oven preheated if
you want to change the effect of the
cooking.
• With the convection broiler function, it is
recommended that the oven be
preheated before broiling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
center of the rack.
Tips for baking cakes and cookies
• It is preferable to use dark metal pans,
which help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.

Use
• To check whether the cake is baked
through, stick a toothpick into its highest
point at the end of the baking time. If the
batter does not stick to the toothpick, the
dessert is done.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out
of the oven, the next time reduce the
oven temperature by about 50°F, and
select a longer cooking time if necessary.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• With the wrapping removed, put frozen
foods into a lidless container and place it
on the first rack in the oven.
• Do not overlap foods.
• To defrost meat, use a rack placed on
the second shelf and a tray on the first
shelf. This way, the meat does not remain
in contact with the liquid from defrosting.
• The tenderest parts of the food can be
protected with aluminum foil.
• For good proofing, placed a container
of water at the bottom of the oven.
To save energy
• Turn off the oven a few minutes before
the required time. Cooking will continue
for the remaining minutes with the heat
that has already accumulated inside the
oven.
• Do not open the oven door very often to
avoid heat loss.
• Always keep the inside of the appliance
clean.
• (Where present) If not used, remove the
pizza tray and place the cover in its
special location.
