COOKING WITH THE OVEN ECO: Using the grill and the bottom heating element plus the fan is particularly suitable for cooking small quantities of food, as it provides low energy consumption. During the cooking of desserts and vegetables, dripping from the bottom of the door could occur. This is a natural physical phenomenon which mainly occurs when the food is placed in the oven before preheating. To avoid this, open the door a couple of times during cooking, taking great care. · · 56 Instructions for the user COOKING HINTS FOR MEAT: · Cooking times, especially meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. To save energy when roasting, we recommend putting the food in the cold oven. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard it is ready, if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. · · COOKING HINTS FOR DESSERTS AND BISCUITS: · Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. The tables indicate the temperature ranges; try at first using the lowest value (the lower temperature allows more even browning). Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: About 10 minutes before the end of cooking, stick a toothpick into the highest point in the dessert. If the dessert goes flat when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10 °C selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. · · · · HINTS FOR THAWING AND PROVING: · We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven. · · The food must be thawed without its wrapping. Lay out the foodstuffs to be thawed evenly, not overlapping. 57 Instructions for the user · When thawing meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a pan positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the thawing food drains away from the food. [. . . ] Check whether an omnipolar switch upstream from the oven power supply line is in the "ON" position.
