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 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 temperature
(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.
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
If your dish need more heat from the top or from the bottom
adjust the shelf level as required.
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.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.

Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;
b) switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking (
);
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This
is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the shelf
and the dripping pan.
