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
dripping pan 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 general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe-
rature (between 200 and 250
recommended.
HINTS AND TIPS ON BAKING
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 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 spreading a little oil on them. In the grill
function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level
depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember
to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.
GREASE FILTER
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted
over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the
back panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan
impellor. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the
seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding
tongue on the filter upward. (See Fig. 5)
Fit the gease filter only when roasting.

GRILLING
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( or ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature. With the setting
obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and
always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level
depends on the thinckness of the food.
Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with
some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells.
THERMAL GRILLING
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature. Select a maximum temperature
of 200 C.
The full grill element and the oven fan operate alternately,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to check
and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and
rare steaks, you can thermal grill all the foods you would
normally cook under a convetional grill.
