Cooking Advice - Smeg Oven APL360XC Instruction Manual

9. COOKING ADVICE

The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the
cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.
The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.
9.1
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT
This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is
suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated to
the chosen temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the
thermostat light goes out. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without
thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C
lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.
9.2
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT
This system is suitable for cooking on several shelves, even with foods of
different kinds (fish, meat, etc.) without cross-contamination of flavours or
smells. The air circulation inside the oven ensures uniform heat
distribution.
Multiple cooking is possible provided that all foods require the same
temperature.
