Practical Cooking Advice - Klarstein ILLUMINOSA SMART OVEN Bedienungsanleitung

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of
food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this
versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which
may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened
foods), the "fan assisted" mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as
quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode
can then be selected.
Cooking on more than one rack
If you have to cook on more than on rack at the same time, use only the "fan
assisted mode" which is the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
1. The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the
three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly
and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
2. As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the
foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For
example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast
on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack
from the bottom.
3. When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a
temperature that is somewhere between the two temperature required, place
the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food
requiring less time out of the oven first.
4. Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper.
Using the grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes only and exclusively
with oven door shut.
Use the "grill" mode , placing the food under the centre of the grill 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 bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest
setting. However, this does not mean you can not use lower temperatures, simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to desired temperature.
Setting "fan assisted grill" , is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the
distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to
