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. Baking Cakes When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and 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. Using the Grill Use the d "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. [. . . ] WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
