Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following are only a guide, which
may be varied according to your own personal taste.
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
If you have to cook food on several shelves, use either
the “fan” mode or the “Multi-cooking” mode, as these are
the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one shelf, use
the “fan” mode, which allows you to cook on 3 shelves at
the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom). Some
examples are included in the “Cooking Chart”.
When cooking other food on several shelves, use the “Multi-
cooking” mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:
•
The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central shelves; the lowest
and highest shelves receive the hot air directly and there-
fore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these shelves.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat
on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the
roast on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom and the
more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bot-
tom.
• When cooking food that require differing times and
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
between the two temperatures required, place the more
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom
and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
• Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the
shelf on the upper;
Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use
frozen or pre-cooked food along with other food items. You
will find useful suggestions in the “Cooking Chart” .
Using the Grill
The “7 Chefs” oven offers you several different grilling modes.
Use the “grill” mode, with the oven door ajar, placing
the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd or
4th shelf from the bottom).
When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem-
perature control to the highest setting. Lower temperatures
can also be set, simply by setting the temperature control to
the temperature required.
Setting “Fan grilling”, is extremely useful for grilling foods
rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not
only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom
part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes.
When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd
shelf position from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the
oven and thus smoke from forming, place a baking tray on
the 1st shelf position from the bottom.
Important: always cook in “Fan grilling” mode with
the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain
excellent results and to save on energy (approximately
10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the tempera-
ture control to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use
the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. How-
ever, this does not mean you cannot use lower tempera-
tures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the de-
sired temperature.
