8.1 Cooking advice and instructions
8.1.1 General advice
• We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. Place the food in the oven only once the
cooking light is off.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform
cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could
be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to
avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.
• For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function.
8.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on
the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
8.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick
into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is
cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set
temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
8.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on
it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away
from the food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.
8.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
• Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven; preheating is
recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before
grilling.
