[. . . ] 4 FO 2161 45 5 Using the oven Always cook with the oven door closed. Conventional cooking Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven, adjust the shelf level as required, or (depending on models) turn the oven function control knob to (bottom heating element only). Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended. Fan cooking Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. The fan behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven. If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (fig. If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results. Hints and Tips on baking Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass. Grilling Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the thinckness of the food. Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells. Hints and Tips on grilling If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it. Defrosting Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( - ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position (symbol : l). The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C. Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc. Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heat build-up which could affect the performance of the oven and damage the oven enamel. [. . . ] All the units meant to ensure protection have to be fitted not to be taken away without using any tool. We recommed not to install the appliance near refrigerators or freezer, since the heat could affect the performance of these appliances.
