Refer to Safety chapters.The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used. Always preheat an empty oven at the temperature required for the food for 20 minutes before you start cooking.10.1 Top oven The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants or quiche. 10.2 Main oven The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. 10.3 Baking • Your oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf positions to the values in the tables. • The manufacturer recommends that you use the lower temperature the first time. • If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the same. • You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position. • Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure. • With longer baking times, you can deactivate the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time and then use the residual heat. When you cook frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays become cold again, the distortions are gone.www.aeg.com14

10.9 Roasting • Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (refer to the instructions of the manufacturer). • You can roast large roasting joints directly in the deep pan (if present) or on the wire shelf above the deep pan. • Roast lean meats in the roasting tin with the lid. This keeps the meat more succulent. • All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted inthe roasting tin without the lid.• To prevent the meat juices or fat from burning onto the pan, put some liquid into the deep pan. • If necessary, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time). • Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting. This gives better roasting results. • You can deactivate the appliance approximately 10 minutes before theend of the roasting time, and use the residual heat.10.10 Thermaflow® or Conventional Cooking - Main Oven RoastingFoodTemperature (°C)Time (min)Beef / Beef boned170 - 19020 - 35 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 20 - 30 mi- nutes overMutton / Lamb170 - 19020 - 35 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 25 - 35 mi- nutes overPork / Veal / Ham170 - 19030 - 40 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 30 - 40 mi- nutes overChicken180 - 20020 - 25 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 20 minutes overTurkey / Goose170 - 19015 - 20 minutes per 0.5 kg (1 lb) up to 3.5 kg (7 lb) then 10 minutes per 0.5 kg (1 lb) over 3.5 kg (7 lb)Duck180 - 20025 - 35 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 25 - 30 mi- nutes overPheasant170 - 19035 - 40 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 35 - 40 mi- nutes overRabbit170 - 19020 minutes per 0.5 kb (1 lb) and 20 minutes over10.11 Grilling in generalWARNING!
