PRACTICAL ADVICE
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows you to cook any type of food in the best
possible way. The following directions are only a guideline that may be varied according to your own
personal experience.
Preheating
To reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity.
Oven pre-heating is necessary before any cooking!
If the oven must be preheated, the "Multi-Cooking" mode and the "Speed pre-heat" mode refer pg.8 can
be used to reach the desired temperature quickly. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Do not open door whilst oven is pre-heating. By opening the door it will not allow the oven to reach full
temperature.
When using the pre- heat function; the fan will automatically switch on regardless of the oven function
selected. This is not an oven fault. Once selected temperature is reached; the fan will turn off and your
oven will operate at that desired function. However if the fan forced option has been selected, the fan
will continue to operate.
Cooking on More Than One Rack
When cooking food on several racks, use the "Fan Forced Bake" mode keeping the following suggestions
in mind:
The oven is fitted with 5 rack settings. The lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and
therefore food could be burnt on these racks.
As a general rule use the 1st and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater
heat on the 1st rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking roast meats together with other food,
place the roast on the 1st rack from the bottom and other food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you two different grilling modes.
Use the "Grill" mode, with the door shut, place the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack from the bottom). Use the shallow roast dish with the grill rack provided. When using this
mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you
cannot use lower temperatures.
"Fan Assisted Grill", with the door shut, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of
heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part. Also it can be
used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta
bakes. When using this mode, place the shallow roasting dish and grill rack on the 3rd or 4th rack from
the bottom. When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C as it is the most
efficient way to use the grill. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures.
IMPORTANT: Always use the fan assisted grill with the oven door shut.
