We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not put

food into the compartment until the warning light has switched off to indicate that

the preset temperature has been reached or until the display is flashing.

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).

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.

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 all the way 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.

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.
