15.1 Cooking advice and instructions
15.1.1 General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to
achieve uniform cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the
temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the
inside).
15.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the
food and to consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively,
simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another
few minutes' cooking.
15.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of
the dough.
• Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce
the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
15.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of
the oven.
• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner
with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from
the defrosting food drains away from the food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the
oven.
15.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
• Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the oven
cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat
the oven before grilling.
15.2 To save energy
To save energy during use of the appliance, the following instructions may be followed:
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for
the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
15.3 Defrosting function (on some models only)
In multifunction models, the defrosting function enables any type of food to be defrosted.
To start defrosting, turn the oven function knob to , then a ventilation system will go
into operation to ensure uniform distribution of the ambient temperature inside the oven.
The defrosting time will depend on the quantity of food to be defrosted.
