(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) 74 Instructions for the user FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and cooking time. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) DEFROSTING: The movement of air caused by the fan makes food defrost faster.

Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for biscuits and cakes. 75 Instructions for the user 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 7. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function ( , , ) to achieve uniform cooking at all heights. In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. 7. 1. 2 Advice for cooking meat Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. 7. 1. 3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10?, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. 76 Instructions for the user 7. 1. 4 Advice for defrosting and proving We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven. When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven. 7. 1. 5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. With the Fan-assisted grill function preheat the oven before grilling.
