Cooking tips

Observe this information when preparing food.
The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Select the lower value first.
The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold.
Do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
Ensure that the accessory slides in the right way round.

Notes on baking
When baking, use the shelf positions indicated.

Notes

When baking on several layers, use hot air. Different food that is placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
In such cases, you can remove the cooked food and continue to cook the other baking tray. If necessary, you can change the position and direction of the baking trays.
Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment. You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time.
For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.

Notes on roasting and grilling
The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready- to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment.

ATTENTION!

Acidic food may damage the wire rack
Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade directly on the wire rack.
The larger the poultry, meat or fish, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time.
Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. 1/2 to 2/3 of the time listed.
Add a little liquid to the poultry in the cookware.
Cover the base of the cookware with approx. 1– 2 cm of liquid.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or skin side is underneath to begin with.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling.
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.
Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.
