4. USE OF THE OVEN
oil.
•Place a fat collecting tray beneath during grilling. Put some water into the
tray to prevent unpleasant smells and to prevent the fat catching fire.
•Grilling is usually preferred for cooking pieces of meat, for example
steaks, which are not too thick, different sized meat parts, cleaved hunted
birds, fish, some vegetables (e.g. courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, etc.)
together with meat and fish products on spits.
Oil the fish lightly before putting it directly under the grill.
Add salt on meat after cooking, salt fish into the cleavage before cooking.
•The distance from the grill will depend on the thickness of the meat or fish.
If the distance is correctly judged, the outer parts will not be burnt and the
inside will not remain raw.
•Prevent unpleasant odours and smoke caused by dripping fats and
sauces by pouring 1-2 glass of water into the fat-collecting tray.
•You can also use the grill for toasting, toasted bread or sandwiches, for
example, and also to cook certain fruits (bananas, grapefruit or pineapple
slices, apples etc.). However, fruit must not come into contact with the
heating elements.
Meat and fish that is going to be grilled should first be lightly doused with
Never cover oven inner walls or the bottom with
aluminium foil. Accumulated heat can damage the oven
enamel and your meal.
While the oven functions are running, top lid of the
cooktop must be open position.

before use. Do not open the oven door when cooking cakes otherwise
they will not rise (cakes or dishes with yeast and soufflés). The blast of
cold air which will enter the oven will prevent rising. You can check
whether cakes are properly cooked by inserting a rod into the dough. If
the rod comes out dry when you pull it out, it means that the cake is
properly cooked. Do not check in this way until at least three quarters
of the cooking time has elapsed.
Please keep in mind the following tips
•If the surface of the food is cooked well but it is still raw or partly raw
inside, it must be cooked longer at a lower temperature.
•On the other hand, if the surface of the food is too dry, it should be
cooked at a higher temperature for a shorter time.
Unless otherwise suggested, preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes
4.5. COOKING CAKES
Otherwise, the meat will be too dry.
If you require well done meat, use less fat. If meat has a little fat, there
is no need to use oil. If one side of the meat is fatty, place this side up.
The melted fat will sufficiently grease the part below. Red meats
should be taken out of the fridge at least 1 hour before the cooking.
•Otherwise the meat may become tough due to the temperature
difference. Do not use salt before cooking, especially when grilling
meat. Salt will draw the blood and juices out of the meat which will
consequently prevent the roasting of the upper surface of the meat.
•Add salt to roast meat only after half of the cooking time has elapsed.
•Place the meat to be roasted in a wide, shallow pan.
•Deep sided containers / pans act as a shield against the heat. Meat
can be placed in the oven in a heat resistant pan or directly onto the
grill. Insert a fat / gravy collecting tray beneath the grill. Sauces must
be added at the beginning if the food is cooked for a short time, while it
would be better to add sauces in the last half hour if the food is cooked
for a longer time.
The minimum quantity of meat to be cooked in the oven is 1 kg.
4.6. COOKING MEATS
Small fish can be cooked at the maximum temperature from start to
finish. Medium sized fish must be cooked at the maximum
temperature at the beginning and then the temperature must be slowly
reduced. Larger fish must be cooked at lower temperatures from start
to finish. Check the cut at the bottom of fish to understand whether it is
cooked properly. In order to understand whether the fish properly
grilled or not, check the cleavage at the bottom of the fish. The colour
(for grilled fish) should be an even matt white. This is not the case for
salmon and trout.

OVEN SUGGESTIONS FOR
Traditional Cooking
Heat is generated from the upper and lower heaters. Generally, the
middle shelf position is preferable for cooking. However, if the top or
bottom surface of the food must be cooked more, place it on the upper
or lower shelf.
Convection Cooking (with Fan)
•The food is cooked by evenly distributed preheated air blown into the
oven by the help of the fan located on the inside back wall of the oven.
It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously on different
shelves thanks to the evenly distributed heat inside the oven.
•This type of oven is also very useful for defrosting frozen food. It can
also be used for sterilizing canned food, preparing fruit syrups, and
dehydrating fruits and mushrooms.
•T
•Preheating time 15 min (20 min if possible)
•Position of the tray in either one of the two lowest position
•Cooking time 20 min.

•Grilling gives food a rich brown colour
quickly. Depending on the quantity of the
food, you can switch the grill on to different
positions. Almost all food can be cooked
under the grill except for very lean game and
meat rolls.
