When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or
rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom rack
heights based on whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do not
open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.

Practical Cooking Advice
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
Using the Grill
Use the
"grill" mode, placing the food under the cen-
tre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the
bottom) because only the central part of the top heating
element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the
dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or grease
and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bot-
tom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the ther-
mostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean
you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting
the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Important: always use the grill with the oven door shut.
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to
save on energy (approximately 10%).
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
