Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook food usin
g several racks, use either the “Baking Mode” or the “Multi-Cooking
Mode”, as these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use the
“Baking Mode”, which allows you to
cook on 3 racks at the same time (Level 1, 3 & 5)
Some examples are included in the
“Practical Cooking Advice Table”.
If used more than one level (in the function “ventilated oven”) and they are not all at the same cooking
point, use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at
the same time.
When cooking other food on several racks, use the
“Multi-Cooking Mode” keeping the following
suggestions in mind:
-
The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks
(Level 2, 3 & 4) as the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate
foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
-
As a general rule, use the Level 2 and 4 racks, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on
the Level 2 rack.
-
Example: When cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the Level 2 rack
and the more delicate food on the Level 4 rack.
-
When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the Level 4
and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
-
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper.
Using the “ Full Grill Mode”
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes.
Use the “Grill Mode”, placing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the Level 3 or 4)
because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (Level 1), placing the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and /or grease
and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting.
However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat
setting to the desired temperature.
Setting “Fan Assisted Grill Mode”
It is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to
brown the surface but also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding
that gratin finish to pasta bakes
Example: When using this mode, place the grid on the Level 2 or 3 rack (see cooking table). Then,
to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming,
place a dripping-pan on Level 1.
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C as it is the most efficient way
to use the grill which is based on the use of infrared rays.
However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat
settings to the desired temperature.
Therefore, the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower
racks (see cooking table). Then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven
and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the Level 1 rack.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven.
Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (For model BO AE 63 A & BO AE
86 A
, the end light “E” will turn off).
Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping
