CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to
be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperature and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for
instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different
levels) without mixing smells and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners).
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top
heating element to ensure uniform distribution of low-
temperature air inside the oven.
9.1 Cooking advice and instructions
9.1.1 General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function
(
• In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the
temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked
on the inside).
9.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and
quality of the food and to consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it.
Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard it is ready, if
not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
