Gas + fan models (note for UK market)
Unlike the traditional gas oven that you
usually find in the United Kingdom, where
the hottest part of the cavity is usually
located in the upper area of the oven, the
new fan-assisted gas oven has a European-
style central lower burner which allows you
to get optimal results, thanks to the efficient
zone cooking device.
The oven has a fan that distributes the heat
evenly inside it. However, the lower part is
the hottest area and it allows you to cook in
the same way as in the upper part of a
traditional oven (depending on the mode
selected).
The central areas cook at the temperature
set on the control panel, whereas in the
upper area the heat is distributed to a
slightly lower temperature, which equals the
temperature of the lower shelf of an electric
oven.
Before carrying out a cooking process,
preheat the oven in order to get optimal
results. Moreover, during all cooking
operations the oven door must be closed to
enable the safety device to work properly.
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan-assisted grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: they help to
absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked
right through: at the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point
of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
