Baking cakes
• The best temperature for baking cakes is be-
tween 150 °C and 200 °C.
• Preheat the oven for approximately 10 mi-
nutes before baking.
• Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the
set cooking time is up.
• If you use two baking trays at the same time,
keep one level empty between them.
Cooking meat and fish
• Do not cook meat with weight below 1 kg.
Cooking too small quantities makes the meat
too dry.
• To keep the red meat well-cooked outside
and juicy inside set the temperature between
200 °C - 250 °C.
• For white meat, poultry and fish, set the tem-
perature between 150 °C - 175 °C.
• Use a dripping pan for very fatty food to pre-
vent the oven from stains that can be perma-
nent.
• Leave the meat for approximately 15 minutes
before carving so that the juice does not
seep out.
• To prevent too much smoke in the oven dur-
ing roasting, add some water into the drip-
ping pan. To prevent smoke condensation,
add water each time after it dries up.
Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the type of food, its
consistency, and volume.
Initially, monitor the performance when you
cook. Find the best settings (heat setting,
cooking time, etc.) for your cookware, recipes
and quantities when you use this appliance.
