Pastry is too dark on top

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

increase the cooking time.

Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows

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 are only a guide, which

may be varied according to your own personal taste.

Preheating

If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated

oven (this is generally the case when cooking leavened

foods), the “fan assisted mode” b can be used to reach

the desired temperature as quickly as possible. When

preheating is over, which is indicated by the red oven

indicator light “E” going out. Place food in the oven and

select the most appropriate cooking mode.

Cooking on More Than One Shelf

If you want to cook on more than one shelf at the same

time, use the “fan assisted mode” b which is the only

mode appropriate for this type of cooking.

• The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted

cooking, use two of the three central shelf positions; the

lowest and highest shelf positions receive the hot air

directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt

on these shelf positions.

• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf position

from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater

heat on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom. For

example, when cooking meat roasts together with other

food, place the roast on the 2nd shelf position from the

bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th shelf position

from the bottom.

• When cooking food that require differing times and

temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere

between the two temperatures required, place the more

delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom

and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.

• Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the

shelf on the upper;

Using the Grill

This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes.

- Use the “grill” mode d, with the oven door ajar, placing

the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd or

4th shelf position form the bottom) because only the central

part of the top heating element is turned on.

When using this mode, we recommend you set the

temperature to the highest setting. However, this does not

mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by

adjusting the temperature control to the desired temperature.

- Setting e “fanned grill”, only with the oven door shut,

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 for browning foods at the end of the

cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta

bakes. When using this mode, place the grill pan on the 2nd

or 3rd shelf position from the bottom (see cooking chart).

This will allow you to obtain excellent results and to save

energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode we

recommend you set the temperature control to 200°C, as it

is the most efficient way to use the grill. However this does

not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by

adjusting the temperature control to the desired temperature.

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.

It is cooked well on the inside but is sticky on the

outside

Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature and increase

the cooking time.

Baking Cakes

When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make

sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the

red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the

oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.

In general, if:

Cooking Fish and Meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature

settings from 180 °C to 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 shelf and place

the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the shelf 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 shelf positions.

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan assisted

mode” b :

- Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.

- Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf. If

the baking tray is used, this will extend the cooking time,

making it difficult to get a crispy crust.

- Do not open the door frequently while the pizza is cooking.

- If the pizza has alot of toppings (three or four), we recommend

you add the mozzarella cheese on top, halfway through the

cooking process.

- When using two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th shelf

positions, with the temperature set to 220°C.

Pastry dropped

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

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the

cooking time.

Pastry has dropped

I used more than one level (in the function

"ventilated oven") 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.

You have used more than one shelf (in the fan assisted

mode) and they are not all at the same cooking point.

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove

the food from both shelves at the same time.
