PRACTICAL COOKING ADvICE
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow 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 directions are
only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.
PREHEATING
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods ),the“
Multi-Cooking
” mode and
the“
Fast cooking
”mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy .
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
COOKING ON MORE THAN ONE RACK
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either the“
baking
”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 rack, use the“baking”mode, which allows you to cook on 3 racks at the
same time(the 1st 3rd and 5th from the bottom).Some examples are included in the“Practical Cooking Advice”table
When cooking other food on several racks, use the“
Multi-Cooking
”mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:
The oven is fitted with 5 racks .During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and
highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
As a general rule ,use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom ,placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on
the 2nd rack from the bottom .For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on
the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
When cooking foodstuffs 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 rack from the bottom and take the
food requiring less time out of the oven first .
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper ;
USING THE“FAST COOKING”MODE
Functional,fast and practical for those of you who use pre-packed products (such as for example:frozen or pre-
cooked food) along with other food items.You will find useful suggestions in the“Practical Cooking Advice”table.
