Useful tips
Browning
Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time. Remove the lid
about halfway through the roasting time
if a more intensive browning result is
desired.
Standing time
At the end of the programme, take the
roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium
foil and leave to stand for about
10 minutes. This helps retain juices
when the meat is carved.
Roasting poultry
For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Frozen...

This type of cooking is ideal for cooking
beef, pork, veal or lamb when a tender
result is required.
First sear the meat all over at a high
temperature on the hob in order to seal
it.
Then cook the meat in the oven at a low
temperature over a long period.
The meat juices inside the joint will start
to circulate evenly throughout the meat
to reach the outer layers.
This gives very tender and succulent
results.
For good results when slow cooking
at low temperatures over a long
period, please note:
– Use...

It is a good idea to programme the
duration.
Enter the duration, see "Operation –
Entering a cooking duration".
You could use a food probe if you
have one. Core temperatures are
listed in the chart.
Continue cooking until the end of the
cooking duration.
Useful tips
Because it has been cooked using low
temperatures,
– meat can be carved straight from the
oven. It does not need to rest.
– meat can be kept warm quite safely
in the oven until it is served. This will
not affect the result in any...

Grill with the oven door closed.
If you grill with the door open, hot air will escape from the oven instead of being
cooled by the cooling fan. The controls will get hot. Danger of burning.

Preparing food for grilling
Rinse briefly under running cold water,
pat dry and season with pepper and
herbs. Do not season meat with salt
before grilling as this draws the juices
out.
Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can burn and cause smoke.
Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, add a little salt or
squeeze a little lemon juice over the
fish.

The Defrost
function uses the fan to
circulate air at room temperature.
Please note:
–Where possible remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on the universal tray or into
a suitable dish.
–When defrosting poultry, put it on the
rack over the universal tray to catch
the defrosted liquid so that the meat
is not lying in this liquid.
It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the
liquid from the defrosted poultry.
Pour it away, and wash the...

We recommend using Fan plus.
Select the required function and set the temperature.
When the temperature indicator lightgoes out, place the dish in the
pre-heated oven.
Cook frozen cakes and pizza on baking paper on the rack rather than on the
baking tray or the universal tray. Cooking large frozen items on the baking tray
or the universal tray can cause the metal to distort. This distortion will increase
with each subsequent use.
Frozen food such as oven chips or croquette potatoes can, however, be...
