Before Each Use - Electrolux Compact Combi Instructions For Use Manual

Choice of accessory
The choice of cooking accessory is of great importance for
successful cooking.The wrong cooking accessory can cause
irregular heat distribution within the preparation itself or
within the oven. Save your ovenproof glass dishes for
cooking gratins and soufflés.
Certain food preparations increase in volume during
cooking, in such cases choose containers that leaves the
top third free.
The thickness, heat conductivity and colour of the
receptacles affect cooking results.
Even distribution of the ingredients in
the cooking accessory
Distribute the ingredients evenly in the cooking
container.To ensure even cooking, it is important that the
hot air and steam should be able to circulate freely among
the ingredients.
Steam
You can cook in either the non-perforated or the perforated
cooking accessories.With fish dishes, you should use a non-
perforated accessory in order to be able to use the fish
stock.When cooking vegetables and potatoes it is preferable
to use the perforated accessories.
We advise you to season your dishes before cooking and
to check the seasoning after cooking.
Small cooking dishes
When using small dishes such as gratin dishes, better results
are obtained if they are laid on a wire grid.
General recommendations
Always place food that spatters in the bottom of the oven.
Leave as little lard in the pan as possible to reduce spattering
and obtain a dish with less fat in it.
To save time and energy, take advantage of the hot oven to
cook other dishes.
If you find that your dish is too dark in colour, reduce the
temperature.
If you find that your dish is too light in colour, not well
enough cooked, or is cooking too slowly, increase the tem-
perature.
