5. Cooking hints
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C
above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens
cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving
better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

RADITIONAL COOKING
FUNCTION SWITCH
50 - 280 °C
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH - 50-280°C
This traditional cooking system where heat flows from both
above and below is suitable for cooking food on one level only.
The oven must be preheated until the preset temperature has
been reached. Only place the food in the oven after the
thermostat indicator light has gone out. Very fat meats can be
placed in the oven while this is still cold. Place frozen meat
directly in the oven without defrosting. The only precaution to be
taken is to choose approx. 20 °C lower temperatures and approx.
1/4 longer cooking times.
Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and dirtying
the sides of the oven.
