COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in
full and hermetically sealed jars, is done
in the following way:
a. Set the switch to position
b. Set the thermostat knob to position
175 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan
making sure they do not touch each
other and the door and set the ther-
mostat knob to position 125 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.
REGENERATION

thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet

perature between 180 and 200 °C.

COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT
THE SAME TIME
With the function selector in position
, the ventilated oven allows you to cook
different types of food at the same time.
Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked
together without the smells and flavours
mixing.
The only precautions required are the
following:
– The cooking temperatures must be as
close as possible with a maximum dif-
ference of 20° - 25°C between the dif-
ferent foods.
– Different dishes must be placed in the
oven at different times according to
the cooking time required for each
one. This type of cooking obviously
provides a considerable saving on
time and energy.
