Using the oven
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the required
temperature (between 50 and 250°C).
If you need more heat from the top or the bottom of the
oven, turn the oven function control knob to
(top
heating element only) or (bottom heating element
only).
Hints and Tips
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
Carefully supervise cookings with
fats or oil
, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when
placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any
fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens,
carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells
or smoke.
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 tempe-
rature (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.
Always cook with the oven door closed.
