Practical Cooking Advice

When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan
or rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom
rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or
less heat from the top.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use
temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to
start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for
a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the
temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of
the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch
the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the
centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the
amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights.
For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game),
dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do
not open the oven door during baking to prevent the
cake from dropping.
Using the Grill
Use the "grill" mode, placing the food under the
centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form
the bottom) because only the central part of the top
heating element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing
the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or
grease and prevent the same from dripping onto the
oven bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the
thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does
not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
Using the cooking timer
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:
align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob
with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used
as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the  symbol.
