Practical Cooking Advice

When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or
rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom rack
heights based on whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case
when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you use
the "convection mode" to reach the desired temperature
as quickly as possible. When preheating is over, which
is indicated by the red light "E" going out, select the
required cooking mode.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to
start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a
short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and
place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the
centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the
amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For
savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress
the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

WARNING! The oven is
provided with a stop sys-
tem to extract the racks
and prevent them from
coming out of the oven.(1)
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them comple-
tely, simply lift the racks,
holding them on the front
part, and pull (2).
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do not
open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping.
Using the Grill
Use the "grill" mode, placing the food under the
centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form
the bottom) because only the central part of the top
heating element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing
the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/
or grease and prevent the same from dripping onto
the oven bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set
the thermostat to the highest setting. However,
this does not mean you cannot use lower
temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat
knob to the desired temperature.
In models fitted with a rotisserie
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.
! 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%).
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.
Cooking Control Timer Knob
Some models are equipped with a timer program to
control when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use
this feature, you must wind the knob one full turn in the
counter-clockwise direction

cooking control timer, match the indicator on the
control panel with the
