7. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

280°C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. Fatty meats
can be put inside the cold oven. Put frozen meat in immediately, without
waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set a
temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than
you would for fresh meat.
Use high-sided casserole dishes to prevent splatters
from hitting the oven walls.
