Practical Cooking Advice
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 fan assisted mode
can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly
as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate 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 the fan assisted mode
which is the
only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these
racks.
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place
the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
When cooking foodstuffs 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 rack from the bottom and take
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on
the upper;
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling
modes.
Use the grill mode
with the oven door ajar, placing
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack from the bottom).
To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack,
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the en-
ergy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels
can be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the
desired level.
In models fitted with a rotisserie
, you can use the spit
kit provided when using the grill mode. In this case, cook
with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third
oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the
bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat.
Setting
, “fan assisted 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.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
prevent 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.
Important: always use the grill with the oven door shut.
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to
save on energy (approximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,
which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this
does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired tempera-
ture.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly (the red light O will turn off). Do
not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping. In general:
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.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
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.
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.
