Advice and tips regarding use

How to read the cooking table:

The table indicates the best function to use for a given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time.

Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking

temperatures and times are only approximate and depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the

lowest recommended values initially and, if cooking results are not those desired, use higher values. It is advisable to

use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and pans. Pots and accessories in Pyrex or

porcelain can also be used, but cooking times will be slightly longer.

Cooking different foods at the same time

Using the FORCED AIR function it is possible to cook different foods requiring the same cooking temperature at the

same time (e.g. fish and vegetables) on different shelves. Remove the food requiring shorter cooking times and leave

food requiring longer cooking times in the oven.

Cakes

- Bake delicate cakes with the conventional function on one level only. Use dark-coloured metal cake tins and always

position them on the rack supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and arranged the

cake tins in a staggered way on the racks, to favour air circulation.

- To know if a raising cake is baked, insert a wooden toothpick in the top part of the cake. If the toothpick comes out

dry, the cake is ready.

- If using non-stick cake tins do not butter the edges, as the cake may not rise evenly at the sides.

- If the cake goes "flat" during baking, set a lower temperature the next time, even reducing the amount of liquid in

the mixture and mixing more gently.

- For cakes with juicy fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “FAN-ASSISTED” function. If the base of the cake is

soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the

filling.

Meat

- Use any kind of pan or Pyrex dish suitable for the size of the meat being cooked. For roasts, it is best to pour a little

stock on the bottom of the pan, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. Pay attention to the steam

created during this operation. When the roast is ready, leave it in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in

aluminium foil.

- To grill pieces of meat, choose cuts of the same thickness to obtain even cooking. Very thick pieces of meat require

longer cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, move it away from the grill by placing the

rack at a lower level. Turn the meat two thirds of the way through cooking, paying attention to the steam when

opening the door.

- To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the rack on

which the food is placed. Top-up when necessary.

Rotisserie (only in some models)

Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the support on the second level. Place the

meat on the rotisserie rod, tying it with string if poultry, fix the two special forks in the two ends of the piece of meat

and make sure it is secure. Insert the rod in the hole located on the front wall of the oven and rest it on the support.

To prevent smoke and to collect the cooking juices, it is advisable to place the drip-tray with at least half a litre of water

on the first level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and can be used at the

end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.

Pizza

Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Add the mozzarella two thirds of the way through baking.

Proving function (present only in specific models)

It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. With this function, dough proving

times are reduced by about one third compared to proving at room temperature (20-25°C). Proving time for 1 kg of

pizza dough is approx. one hour.
