Maintaining Temperature After Cooking or Slowly Heating Foods
The upper heating element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is dispersed by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 140 °C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.
Convection Cooking with Ventilation
The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan.
The heat coming from above and below is dispersed by convection with ventilation.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 250 °C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Voluminous dishes and large quantities which require the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for
example rolled roasts, turkey, roast legs, cakes etc.
Cooking Advice
Sterilization
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:
a.
Set the switch to position
.
b.
Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c.
Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d.
Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the
thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let
cool.
Regeneration
Set the switch to position
and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at
the highest temperature.
Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods
With the function selector in position
and
the ventilated oven allows you to cook different types of
food at the same time.
Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing.
The only precautions required are the following:
•
The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference of 20 - 25 °C between
the different foods.
•
Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cooking time required for
each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable saving on time and energy.
