Use of "Fan assisted grill and Large fan assisted grill" mode
These modes are extremely useful to cook foods rapidly, because the heat distribution not only makes it
possible to brown the surface of the food, but also to cook the underside. For example, you can brown
foods at the end of the cooking process and add a gratinated finish to oven baked pasta.
When using these modes, place the rack on the 2nd or 3rd shelf (from the bottom). 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. There are several examples given in the "Guideline cooking times table".
The recommended thermostat setting is 200 °C, because this is the most effective for the grill, which
cooks by means of infrared radiant heat. This does not however mean that lower temperatures cannot
be used simply by setting the thermostat knob to the required temperature.
NOTE: In general, when using the various "Fan assisted grill" modes the best results
are obtained by placing the rack on the lower shelves. To avoid grease from dripping onto
the bottom of the oven, place a drip pan on the 1st shelf (from the bottom).
NOTE: To reduce the formation of smoke while cooking, pour water into the drip pan.
NOTE: The oven must be preheated only if this is specified in the recipe or in the
"Guideline cooking times table". Heating an empty oven causes high energy consumption,
so cooking various types of desserts or pizzas in succession helps achieve big energy
savings because the oven is already hot.
NOTE: Use dark silicone coated cake tins or enamelled containers since they offer high
thermal conductivity.
NOTE: When using baking paper, make sure it is resistant to high temperatures.
NOTE: Roasting large cuts of meat or baking cakes results in the production of a
significant amount of steam in the oven, which can result in the formation of condensation
on the oven door. This is perfectly normal and will not affect normal operation of the
appliance. After cooking, dry the oven door and glass carefully.
NOTE: The oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time
in order to exploit residual heat and save electricity.
