USING THE OVEN General tips
· When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the set temperature, so as to achieve best results. · The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The times indicated in the table are purely indicative and subject to variation, and do not include the time required to preheat the oven. · To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.
If your oven comes with a diet grill:
we suggest cooking chicken and roasts directly on the diet grill which rests directly on the dripping tray (see fig. on side) to avoid fat dripping to the bottom of the oven and on to the walls. Refer to the following paragraphs for further details.
