2.4 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOW BAKING “SLOW BAKE”
Ideal for pastries and cakes with icing. Good results are also achieved when completing the cooking of the
base of foods or for cooking that requires heat above all at the bottom. Insert the dripping pan or wire rack
(
O
) (with a pan on top) in guide 3.
• Turn the function selector knob (
H
) to position
SLOW BAKE
.
• Select the desired temperature using the thermostat knob (
E
).
• Turn the ON/OFF and toast programming knob (
G
) to the time desired.
A bell will ring when the set time has elapsed; if the food being kept warm is served before the end of the
set time, manually turn the ON/OFF and toast programming knob (
G
) to position OFF.
TEMPERATURE AND TIME FOR TYPICAL FOODS ( baking and roasting)
The suggested temperature and times will vary depending on the temperature of the food placed in the oven, the
quantity and personal preference. Times given for meat and poultry are for refrigerator temperature. Add five
minutes for preheating the oven. In order to avoid overcooking when using for the first time we suggest you to set
a low temperature. As you use the oven, the best settings will become familiar.
