9. COOKING HINTS WITHOUT MICROWAVE
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
9.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-heat
the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven
only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to
take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/
4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
9.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.
