Functions list 60°C Static 240°C As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. Lower element The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of foods that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. Small grill Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows you to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any types of grilled vegetable side dishes. Wide grill The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and in combination With the rotisserie (where fited] gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

General advice +_ltis not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature [the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside]. Advice for cooking meat + Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. lFit is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. Advice for cooking with the Grill + Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack. Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits Use dark metal moulds: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency ofthe dough. To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end ofthe cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point ofthe dessert. IFthe dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.

+_lfthe 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. Advice for defrosting and proving +_ Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. Avoid overlapping the food. To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. 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. To save energy +_ 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 ofthe door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal. + Keep the inside ofthe appliance clean at all times.
