Page 74
Roasting The table contains the required temperatures,roasting times and Oven levels for various kinds of meat. The figures stated are approximate figures only. • We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing over 1 kg in the oven. • For lean meat and fish, use Conventional heat. For all other kinds of meat we recommend Fan grill( ) mode.
Grilling For grilling, you have a choice of 3 different operating modes. Large grill For larger quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in large tins. Choose 1 of 3 power levels (1 low, 2 medium and 3 high), as suitable for the food being grilled.
Oven levels Use levels 5 or 6 for grilling flat pieces of meat. CAUTION • Exposed parts of the oven can become hot during grilling. Keep children at a distance. Using the grilling table The grilling times are intended as approximate values only. The actual times may vary depending on the quality of the actual meat or fish.
Defrosting Use the "Defrost( )" operating mode to defrost food. Defrosting dishes • Remove the dish from its packaging, put it on a plate and place the plate on the wire grille. • Do not cover the dish with a plate or bowl, as this can considerably extend the defrosting time.
Special functions You can set your oven to low temperatures from 40°C and up. This allows you to make yoghurt, for example, or to let dough rise. How to make yoghurt Dishes Glasses or cups of 150 ml capacity which you cover with a lid or a piece of tin foil.
