9. COOKING 
HINTS 
 
 
 
 
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or 
tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the 
enamel coating.  If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it 
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. 
 
Keep the oven door closed during cooking

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM  
50° TO 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. very fatty 
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. 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. 
 
 
 
 
 
Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and 
dirtying the sides of the oven.
