9. COOKING HINTS
9.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM
50° TO 250°C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and
dirtying the sides of the oven.
9.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM
50° TO 250°C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating
is not necessary.
