The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow

you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With

time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile

cooking appliance and the following directions are only a

guideline which may be varied according to your own per-

sonal experience.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case

when cooking leavened foods), the

U “pizza mode”

(setting three) can be used to reach the desired tempera-

ture as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most ap-

propriate cooking mode can then be selected.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same

time, use only setting 4,

L “ventilated mode,” which is

the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.

The rack heights used should be the three centre ones,

as the bottom and top racks receive too much direct heat,

which could burn more delicate foods. If three racks are

used at the same time, the food on the middle rack will

take a little longer to cook. Therefore, leave it in the oven

for an additional few minutes. If you are preparing a com-

plete meal with all three racks at the same time, place the

dish that calls for a lower cooking temperature (generally

pastries) on the middle rack.

Using the Grill

The oven allows you to use two different grilling methods.

Use the no. 5 setting

F “Grill” for small portions. En-

ergy consumption for this feature is only 1200 W; how-

ever, it is ideal for grilling small dishes or portions, e.g.

toast, frankfurters, etc.

Place the food in the centre of the grill, as only the

centre of the heating element is turned on. Food in

the corners of the oven will not be cooked.

The no. 6 setting

d “Double Grill” allows you to grill

along the entire surface area of the grill itself. Use this

feature when you have food distributed uniformly beneath

the grill and you want it to be browned evenly.

Important: Always leave the oven door closed when

using the grill setting n order to achieve the best re-

sults and save on energy (about 10%).

When using the grill settings, it is recommended that the

thermostat be set to maximum, as this is the optimal set-

ting for the grill, which utilizes radiation produced by infra-

red rays. However, this does not mean that lower tem-

perature settings cannot be used when necessary by sim-

ply turning the control knob.

When using the grill, place the rack at the 4 rack heights

(see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath

the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bot-

tom of the oven.

Setting 7

K “Ventilated Double 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. It can also be used to grill large pieces of

meat or fowl. Moreover, it can also be used for browning

foods at the end of the cooking process.

When using this function, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd

oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to pre-

vent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the

oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on

the 1st rack from the bottom. When using this function to-

gether with the spit (only on some models), you can also

cook dishes on the dripping-pan situated on the 1st rack, for

example: potatoes, etc…….

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven af-

ter it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the

oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red “O” light will

turn off). The temperature is normally around 160°C. 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 setting 3

“The Pizza Oven”:

• Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes;

• Use a light aluminium 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.

Practical Cooking Advice

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the

cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the

outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

flour or use greaseproof paper.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and

increase the cooking time.

I used more than one level and they are not all at

the same cooking point

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to

remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
