the Cooking time and STOP symbols will continue flashing.

mode can be pre-set, if required.
•Turn the knob to the End of cooking position.The STOP symbol will

NB : With a delayed start, the end of programme time will appear on the
display with the “Cooking time” and “STOP” symbols, and only the
function Recipe mode of the oven remains.
The oven automatically calculates the start time (end time minus cooking
time).
At the end of the cycle the oven switches itself off automatically. For 15
seconds, an audible signal lets you know that the cycle has ended and
the “Cooking time” and STOP symbols will flash.
•Turn the function selector knob to Stop. Unless you do this, the symbols
will continue flashing.
•This function is typically used with “cooking duration” function.
For example if the dish has to be cooked for 45 minutes and needs to
be ready by 12:30;
- select the required function
- set the cooking duration time to 45 minutes
- set the end of cooking time to 12:30.
• Cooking will start automatically at 11:45 (12:30 minus 45 mins) and
will continue until the pre-set end-of-
cooking-time, when the oven will switch itself off automatically.
WARNING.
If the END of cooking is selected without setting the length of
cooking time, the oven will start cooking immediately and it will
stop at the END of cooking time set.

It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the
meat to spatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke.
Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven
cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks
through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the
joint.
Correct preheating is the basis of successful red meat cookery.
GRILLS
• Before loading the grill:
Remove the meat from the refrigerator a few hours before grilling. Lay
it on several layers of kitchen paper. This improves seizing, making it
tastier and avoids it staying cold at the centre.
Add pepper and spices to the meat before grilling, but add any salt
after cooking. This way it will seize better and stay juicy. Baste all the
food to be cooked with a little oil. This is best done with a wide flat
basting brush.Then sprinkle with more pepper and herbs (thyme,
etc.).
• During cooking:
Never pierce the food during cooking even when you turn it. This lets
the juice out and it becomes dry.
BAKING
Avoid using shiny tins, they reflect the heat and can spoil your cakes. If
your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or
aluminium foil.
Caution: The correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards
the cake. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not
penetrate the food.
Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of
cooking:
Soufflés, brioches, sponge cakes, etc. will tend to fall.You can check if
cakes are done by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal
knitting needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready
and you can stop cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of
cake attached, continue baking but slightly lower the thermostat so
that it is finished off without burning.
5.4 COOKING TIPS
