Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and
Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directl on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom with some water
in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on
the oven base.
White meat, poultr and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175°C). If ou
need to cook red meat (slightl browned on the outside
and more gentl cooked in the inside), a higher tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250°C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usuall need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200°C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If ou need to grill meat or fish, place them directl on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes onl from the top element.
Therefore, ou need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Alwa s remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
Fig. 6
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant s mbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. If our dish need more heat from the top or
from the bottom adjust the shelf level as required,
otherwise turn the oven function control knob to (top
heating element onl ) or (bottom heating element
onl ).
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant s mbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. The fan situated behind the back panel
circulates heated air into the oven.
If ou need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (See Fig. 6).
If ou are cooking onl one dish in the fan oven, use the
lower positions, as this will give ou better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant s mbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position
(s mbol :l). The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
This increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant s mbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
Cooking with the turnspit (ZBN 722)
 Place the spit-support frame into the third grid runner
from the bottom of the oven (Fig.7).
 Pierce and secure well food on the spit.
 Fit the spit tip into the spit motor drive in the back of
the oven and la its front part on the frame groove.
 Remove the spit handle.
 Tutn the oven function control knob on .
Leave t e oven door closed.
Set t e t ermostat function knob on 200°C
maximum.
Grease Filter (only in some models)
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over
the oven fan b clipping it over the vents in the back
panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan impellor.
Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The
grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter b pushing the protruding tongue
on the filter upward. (See Fig.8)
Fit t e grease filter only w en roasting.
