A short oven pre-heating (about
10 minutes) will then be neces-
sary before any cooking.
We recommend you to wipe
away condensation after each
use of the appliance.
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which
will withstand temperatures of
230°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
should not be placed directly against
the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven
base.
Hints and tips for using the oven
Hints and Tips on cooking
fish and meat
You can place meat in oven proof
dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In
this case, remember to place the drip
tray in the first position from the bottom
with some water in it. The dripping pan
will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in gen-
eral, need to be cooked at a medium
temperature (between 150°C and
175°C). If you need to cook red meat
(slightly browned on the outside and
more gently cooked in the inside), a
higher temperature (between 200°C and
230°C) for a short time is recom-
mended.
• Do not use baking trays larger than
30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they
will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on cook-
ing results
Dishes and tins vary in their thick-
ness, conductivity, colour, etc. which
affects the way they transmit heat to the
food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glass-
ware and bright shiny utensils reduce
cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized alu-
minium, aluminium with non-stick in-
terior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and
base browning.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at
a medium temperature (between 150°C
and 200°C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) is recommeded when cooking
cakes or baking. Once the cooking has
been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check
the cooking results through the oven
door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place
them directly on the shelf after spread-
ing a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only
from the top element. Therefore, you
need to adjust the cooking level de-
pending on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the drip-
ping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.
