8Fig. 5Hints and Tips on Cooking Fishand MeatYou can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on theoven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip trayin the first position from the bottom with some water in it.The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on theoven base.White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to becooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 175°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on theoutside and more gently cooked in the inside), a highertemperature (between 200 and 230 °C) for a short time isrecommended.Hints and Tips on bakingCakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera-ture (between 150 and 200 °C).A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) isrecommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once thecooking has been started, keep the oven door closedduring all the cooking time, and check the cooking resultsthrough the oven door glass.Hints and Tips on grillingIf you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on theshelf after spreading a little oil on them.In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level dependingon meat or fish's thickness.Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lowerposition with some water in it.When food is heated, it produces steam in thesame way as a boiling kettle does. Whensteam comes in contact of the oven doorglass, it will condense and produce waterdroplets.To reduce condensation, ensure the oven iswell heated before placing food in the ovencavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10minutes) will then be necessary before anycooking.We recommend you to wipe awaycondensation after each use of the appliance.Cooking timesCooking times vary according to the type of food to becooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest thatyou take particular note of your first cooking experimentswith the oven, since operating in the same conditions forthe same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.Only experience will enable you to make the appropriatechanges to values given on charts.For correct use, proceed as follows:1. slide the spit into the food to be cooked and securewell;2. place the spit on the support and slide the whole intothe second runner from the bottom of the oven cavity(fig. 5);3. insert the end of the spit into the rotisserie motorhousing (the orifice in the wall at the back of the oven- see fig. 5);4. remove the spit handle;5. turn the oven knob to the "grill" position .Leave the oven door closed.Set the thermostat function knob on 200°Cmaximum.Cooking with theturnspit
