8. COOKING HINTS

WARNING
NOTE: Do not line the bottom of the oven with aluminum or tin foil or place pans or oven trays on this surface as
this may damage the enamel oven lining. If you wish to use waxed paper in the oven, position it so that it does
not interfere with the circulation of hot air inside the oven.
In fan-assisted mode, the oven should be preheated to 90-100°F above the recommended cooking temperature.
This considerably shortens the cooking time, reduces power consumption and provides more even cooking.
8.1 Conventional cooking
OVEN FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB
OVEN THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB FROM 120° TO 500°F
In conventional cooking, heat circulates from bottom to top; this is ideal for cooking food on a single rack.
Preheat the oven to the desired temperature and put the food in the oven only after the thermostat
indicator light has gone out. Very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Frozen meat can
be placed directly in the oven without waiting for it to thaw. However, set the temperature about 70°F
lower and allow 25% more time for cooking.
NOTE: Use pans with deep sides to prevent oil/grease from splattering and soiling the
walls of the oven.
