Hints and Tips
� � The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C. Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc. Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heat build-up which could affect the performance of the oven and damage the oven enamel. Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.
