Cooking tips
Cooking is by definition the change from the raw to the cooked state.
The result obtained is assessed according to various criteria: colouring, any rise in the preparation,
moistness, the degree of cooking wanted, etc..
The oven settings (cooking temperatures and times) clearly depend on two important parameters :
- the volume of the preparation,
- the ability of the food to colour (amount of sugar or egg in the recipe).
The cooking settings suggested in the table are given with very precise parameters so you may need to alter
them slightly in order to adapt them to your own dishes and the degree of cooking you want.
Advice and recommendations
MAINTENANCE, HYGIENE AND OVEN CLEANING
• You are recommended to clean the oven every time it is
used, especially after roasting. This is because you should
avoid allowing stains splashed during cooking to accu-
mulate: they will get cooked again every time the oven is
used and carbonise, giving off smoke and unpleasant
smells.
• Using aluminium foil
To prevent having to clean the oven floor, you may be
tempted to cover the surface with aluminium foil. We
strongly advise you not to.
Aluminium foil in direct contact with the hot enamel
may melt and irreparably damage the enamel.
SAFETY
• Accessible hot parts
In pyrolysis (self cleaning), the outer surfaces are hot-
ter than during cooking: keep young children well clear.
DO NOT WORRY IF..
Minor operating problems may occur, but these are gen-
erally due to a mistaken setting or a wrong assessment of
an occurrence.
2. If cooking has finished but the fan continues to
run:
• Even with the selector on “0”, do not be surprised. It will
stop when the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
3. If your oven does not heat up:
Check that:
• the fuses have not blown
• the main in-feed circuit breaker has not tripped,
• that there is not a power cut.
1. If during cooking your oven gives off a lot of smoke:
• Check that you have selected the right function as re-
gards the cooking you wanted, chosen the right accesso-
ries and put the food into the oven at the recommended
temperature.
• Also check the temperature selected, it may well be too
high for the type of cooking in question.
• Check whether the oven may require cleaning. When
stains resulting from food waste being projected on to the
enamelled sides carbonise, they give off smoke and acrid
smells.
• Splashed fat or spillages on very hot surfaces can pro-
duce smoke.
