When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan
should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be
inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on
whether the food needs more heat from the top or
bottom.

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must
be superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it
is advisable to start with a high temperature
(200-220°C) for a short time, and then to reduce it at
a later point. Generally speaking, the more meat
there is, the lower the temperature and the longer the
cooking time should be.Place the meat in the centre
of the grid and put a spill-tray underneath to catch
grease drips. Insert the grid so that it is in the
middle of the oven. If more heat from below is
required, use the 1° bottom shelf.

Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do
not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from
dropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that
the cooking time is not excessive. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

When using any of the grilling modes, it is
recommended that the thermostat knob be turned to
the highest setting, as it is the most efficient way to
use the grill (which utilizes infrared rays). If
necessary, however, the thermostat can be set to
lower temperatures for grilling. When using the grill
functions, place the grid on the lower racks (see
cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Always use the grill with the oven door closed. This
will allow you both to obtain excellent results
and to
save on energy (approximately 10%)
. Table 1
includes the recommended temperatures, cooking
times and positions for you to obtain the best results
when cooking.
