Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the
case when cooking leavened foods) the
“
ventilation
” mode can be used to reach the desired
temperaure as quickly as possible in order to save on
energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Using the Grill
The plurifunction oven offers you 2 different grilling
modes.
Use the
“
grill
” it allows you to grill small portions
like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc., to perfection.
Position the food under the center of the grill because
only the central part of the top heating element is
turned on. Food placed in the corners will not cook
properly.
The
“
Ventilated Grill
” 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.
This mode can also be used for browning foods at
the end of the cooking process.
Important: always use the grill with the oven door
closed.
This will allow you both to attain excellent
results and to save energy (10% circa).
For the best results when cooking on the grill, it is
recommended to use the highest setting of the
thermostat (200°C), which utilizes infrared rays. The
grill should be placed on the higher racks (see the
cooking chart). To catch fat and prevent smoke,
place a dripping pan beneath the rack used for
grilling.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower
levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and
prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom
rack level.
Baking Pastries
When baking pastries, always place them in the oven
after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until
the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red "E"
light will turn off). Do not open the door while the
pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping.
Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in
prolonged cooking times. In general:

Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza use the
"ventilation mode"
:
•
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
•
Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the
broiler supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan
is used, this will extend the cooking time, making
it difficult to get a crispy crust;
•
Do not open the oven door frequently while the
pizza is cooking;
•
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it
is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be
placed on top halfway through the cooking
process;
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it
from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and
fish, use low temperature settings (150
°
C-200
°
C).
For red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea
to start with a high temperature setting
(200
°
C-220
°
C) for a short time, then turn the oven
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the
lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the
centre of the rack and place the dripping pan
beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in
the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase
the amount of heat from below, use the low rack
heights.
