Practical cooking advice
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN
ASSITED mode
, as this is the only cooking mode
suited to this type of cooking. We also recommend
that:
• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that
requires more heat is placed on the rack in position
2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature
that is halfway between the two recommended
temperatures (
see Oven cooking advice table
) and
place the more delicate food on the rack in position
4. Remove the food that requires a shorter cooking
time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the
temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated for
15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on the rack
in position 4 takes longer: we recommend that the
pizza cooked on the lowest rack position is removed
first, followed by the pizza cooked in position 4 a few
minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
DOUBLE GRILL
MODE
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit will be activated. The provides a larger
grill setting and has an innovative design the improves cooking efficiency by 50 % and
eliminates the cooler corner areas. Use this grilling mode to achieve a uniform
browning on top of the food.
FAN ASSISTED
DOUBLE GRILL
MODE
The top heating element and the turnspit are activated and the fan begins to
operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation
of the air throughout the oven. This prevents the food from burning on top by
enabling heat to penetrate into the food more effectively; it is therefore an ideal
way of cooking food quickly under the grill or for grilling large pieces of meat
without having to use the turnspit.
The GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED
DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.
When using the GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes, place the rack in
position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease). When using the FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL cooking
mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to
collect cooking residues.
DEFROSTING
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature
around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice
cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting
time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to
accelerate the process using the
“multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to
80° - 100°C
BOTTOM MODE
The lower heating element is activated. This position is recommended for
perfecting the cooking of dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on the
surface but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts with a covering of
fruit or jam, which only require moderate colouring on the surface. It should
be noted that this function does not allow the maximum temperature to be reached
inside the oven
(250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked
using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be baked at a
temperature
of 180°C or lower).
BOTTOM
VENTILATED
The bottom heating element and the fan is activated, which allows for the heat
distribution within the whole cavity of the oven. This combination is useful for light
cooking of vegetables and fish
