Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and
Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom with some water
in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on
the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175°C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250°C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200°C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.

Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. If your dish need more heat from the top or
from the bottom adjust the shelf level as required,
otherwise turn the oven function control knob to (top
heating element only) or
(bottom heating element
only).
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. The fan situated behind the back panel
circulates heated air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (See Fig. 6).
If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the
lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position
(symbol :
l
). The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
This increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
Cooking with the turnspit
(ZBN 722)
Place the spit-support frame into the third grid runner
from the bottom of the oven (Fig.7).
Pierce and secure well food on the spit.
Fit the spit tip into the spit motor drive in the back of
the oven and lay its front part on the frame groove.
Remove the spit handle.
Tutn the oven function control knob on .
Leave the oven door closed.
Set the thermostat function knob on 200°C
maximum.
Grease Filter (only in some models)
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over
the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the back
panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan impellor.
Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The
grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue
on the filter upward. (See Fig.8)
Fit the grease filter only when roasting.
