Instructions for the User
•
Use only original SMEG trays.
•
When the tray is in the oven, the handle must be facing the oven door.
•
Push the trays all the way inside the oven.
•
Use only original SMEG racks.
•
When the rack is in the oven, the contoured part must be facing downwards.
•
Push the racks right inside the oven.
•
For best cooking results, we recommend placing kitchenware in the centre of the rack.
•
We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. Do not place foods
inside the oven until the
sounded to confirm that the programmed temperature has been reached.
•
For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform cooking at all heights.
•
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).
•
While cooking desserts and vegetables, dripping from the bottom of the door may
occur. This is a natural physical phenomenon which mainly occurs when the food is
placed in the oven before preheating. To avoid this, carefully open the door a couple of
times during the cooking.
•
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the
food and the consumer's taste.
•
To save energy when roasting, we recommend putting the food in the cold oven.
•
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.
•
Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
•
The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the
dough.
•
The tables indicate the temperature ranges. Initially, try with the lowest value (the lower
temperature gives a more even browning); if the dessert does not come out well,
increase the temperature on the following occasions.
•
Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: About 10 minutes before the end of
cooking, stick a toothpick into the highest point in the dessert. If the dough does not
stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
•
If the dessert goes flat when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the
set temperature by about 10 °C selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
