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 №Z\ 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 energy 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 №7-1, 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 temperature. 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. Cooking Pizza For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan assisted “ ï mode: • Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes; • Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust; • Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking; • If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process. • When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and 4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10 minutes. 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 amoun...
