[. . . ] We recommend using the 3rd runner. 29 EN CIRCULAR: Instructions for the user 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. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. 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. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) DEFROSTING: (see 7. 4 Proving and defrosting functions) Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven. (You are advised to use the 1st or 2nd runners) PROVING: (see 7. 4 Proving and defrosting functions) The proving function, using the heat coming from the top, makes it possible to prove all types of dough, guaranteeing perfect results quickly. 30 Instructions for the user 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions EN 7. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not place foods inside the oven until on the display stops flashing and the beep has sounded to confirm that the programmed temperature has been reached. 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's taste. We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. 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 dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked. If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. 31 EN 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. The food must be defrosted without its wrapping. Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping. [. . . ] Verify whether the door locking device has switched off. If it has not, the oven has a protection device that does not allow functions to be selected while the door locking device is active. This is because the temperature inside the oven is still too high to permit any type of cooking. The door locking device has not properly attached to the door. [. . . ]
