3.3 Cooking advice

General advice

•  Use a fan assisted function to achieve 

consistent cooking at several levels.

•  It is not possible to shorten cooking times 

by increasing the temperature (the food 
could be overcooked on the outside and 
undercooked on the inside).

Advice for cooking meat

•  Cooking times vary according to the 

thickness and quality of the food and to 
consumer taste.

•  Use a meat thermometer when roasting 

meat, or simply press on the roast with a 
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it 
needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and 
biscuits

•  Use dark metal moulds: They help to 

absorb the heat better.

•  The temperature and the cooking time 

depend on the quality and consistency 
of the dough.

•  To 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.

Advice for defrosting

•  Place frozen foods without their 

packaging in a lidless container on the 
first shelf of the oven.

•  Avoid overlapping the food.
•  To defrost meat, use the rack placed on 

the second level and a tray on the first 
level. In this way, the liquid from the 
defrosting food drains away from the 
food.

To save energy

•  Stop cooking a few minutes before the 

time normally used. Cooking will 
continue for the remaining minutes with 
the heat which has accumulated inside 
the oven.

•  Reduce any opening of the door to a 

minimum to avoid heat dispersal.

•  Keep the inside of the appliance clean 

at all times.
