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 (see Fig. 5) 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 tempera-
ture (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.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
Shelf Positions (Fig. 5)
The oven shelves can be placed at different heights to
obtain better cooking results. The levels are shown in Fig.
5.

When food is heated, it produces steam
in the same way as a boiling kettle does.
When steam comes in contact of the
oven door glass, it will condense and
produce water droplets.
This is quite normal and is not caused by
fault of the oven.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after all cookings.
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated
air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (See Fig. 5).
If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the
lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position
(symbol :
l
).
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air,
at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the
rate at which defrosting takes place.
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
This function uses the top and bottom elements to give
single level cooking. If you need more heat from the
bottom or from the top, you can adjust the shelf on the
lower or higher positions. (See Fig. 5)
Cooking with the grill
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
(
) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
