HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and
level to use to cook various different types of food.
Cooking times start from the moment food is placed
in the oven, excluding preheating (where required).
Cooking temperatures and times are approximate
and depend on the amount of food and the type
of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended
settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked
enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the
accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured
metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use
Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in
mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
The “Convection Bake” function enables you to cook
different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on
different shelves at the same time.
Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking
time and leave the food which requires a longer
cooking time in the oven.
BREAD AUTO FUNCTION
For best results you should carefully follow the
instructions, using the recipe for mixing 1000 g of
dough: 600 g of flour, 360 g of water, 11 g of salt, 25 g
of fresh yeast (or two packets of yeast powder).
For optimal rising, allow about 90 minutes at room
temperature.
Put the dough into the (cold) oven, pour 100 cc of
cold drinking water on to the bottom of the oven and
activate the “Bread Auto” function. After cooking,
leave the dough to stand on a wire shelf until
completely cooled.
