Desserts
• Cook delicate desserts with the
conventional function on one shelf only.
When using dark colored metal cake pans
always position them on the wire shelf
supplied. To cook on more than one shelf,
select the forced air function and stagger
the position of the cake pans on the
shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the
hot air.
• To check whether a raising cake is
cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into
the center of the cake. If the toothpick
comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• If using non-stick cake pan, do not butter
the edges as the cake may not rise evenly
around the edges.
• If the cake "sinks" during cooking, set a
lower temperature the next time, perhaps
reducing the amount of liquid in the
mixture and mixing more gently.
• For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake
or fruit pies) use the "Convection Bake"
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 oven tray or Pyrex dish
suited to the size of the piece of meat
being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to
add some stock to the bottom of the dish,
basting the meat during cooking for
added flavor. When the roast is ready, let it
rest in the oven for another 10-15
minutes, or warp it in aluminum foil.

• When you want to grill meat, choose cuts
with an even thickness all over in order to
achieve uniform cooking results.
Very thick pieces of meat require longer
cooking times. To prevent the meat from
burning on the outside, lower the position
of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther
away from the grill. Turn the meat two
thirds of the way through cooking.
• To collect the cooking juices it is advisable
to place a drip-tray with half a liter of
water directly under the grill on which the
meat is placed. Top-up when necessary.
Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large
pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat
on the turnspit rod, tying it with string if
chicken, and check that it is secure before
inserting the rod in the seat located on the
front wall of the oven and resting it on the
respective support. To prevent smoke and
to collect cooking juices, it is advisable to
place a drip-tray with half a liter of water on
the first level. The rod has a plastic handle
which must be removed before starting to
cook, and 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. Scatter the mozzarella
over the pizza two thirds of the way through
cooking.
