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.
HOT AIR COOKING
The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection
and the temperature can be regulated to between 50° and 250°C via the
thermostat knob. The oven does not require preheating.
Recommended for:
Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example
lasagne, lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.
GRILLING
The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Set the thermostat knob to between 50° and 200°C.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (200°C).
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
