Instructions for the user
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of
the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they
need the same temperature and same type of cooking operation. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for
instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing odours and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2
nd
and 4
th
runners.)
DEFROSTING: (on the multifunction model only)
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to
ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven.
8.1 Cooking advice and instructions
8.1.1 General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in.
• 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
well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
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 duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way 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.
