4.2.8 Cooking guidelines
The oven offers a vast range of modes to allow optimal cooking of all types of food.
The following indications are only general guidelines and may need to be adjusted based on your
personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (usually when baking with leavening agents), "Fan assisted grill" mode
and "Fan assisted" mode
possible in order to save electricity. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the appropriate cooking
mode can be selected.
Cooking on more than one rack
To cook food on several shelves, use "Hot air" mode
being the only cooking modes that allow correct cooking on multiple racks.
When cooking delicate foods on more than one shelf, use "Hot air" mode
on 3 shelves simultaneously (1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom); there are several examples in the
"Guideline cooking times table".
When cooking other foods on more than one shelf, use "Fan assisted grill" mode
following suggestions:
- The oven has 5 shelves. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central shelves; the
lowermost and uppermost shelves are directly in the hot air flow so delicate foods may burn.
- As a rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the bottom, placing the foods that require more heat on the
2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts with other foods, place the meat
on the 2nd shelf from the bottom and the more delicate foods on the 4th shelf from the bottom.
- When cooking foods that require different times and temperatures, set a temperature at the mid-
point between the two required temperatures, place the more delicate food on the 4th shelf from the
bottom and remove the food that requires the shorter cooking time from the oven first.
- Use the drip pan on the bottom shelf and the rack on the top shelf.
Use of "Fan assisted" mode
Functional, fast and practical for those who use pre-packaged products (e.g.: frozen or precooked
foods) together with other foods, several examples are given in the "Guideline cooking times table".
Use of "Small grill and Large grill" mode
Use the Small grill and Large grill" modes, placing the food in the centre of the rack (3rd or 4th shelf from
the bottom), because only the central part of the top heating element is switched on.
Use the bottom shelf (1st from bottom) for the supplied drip pan to collect any fat so that it does not
drip onto the bottom of the oven. When using this mode, it is recommended to set the thermostat at the
highest setting. This does not however mean that lower temperatures cannot be used simply by setting
the thermostat knob at the required temperature.
