3?) Start Cooking

With the Smeg 8 or 10 function ovens there are many options in
choosing a heating function to cook various food types. The func­tion described are the main 4 functions used for every day meals.

Notes on using a Smeg oven
Getting the best from your Smeg multi-function fan ovens will
require some alteration to your cooking techniques.
Lower all cooking temperatures by 30°C, fanned cooking does
not require very high temperatures, try around 160"C and move
up or down slightly from there.
Do not use covered roasting dishes, oven bags or add additional
moisture to your cooking. (This upsets the moisture balance)
Defrost food thoroughly before cooking. Use the defrost func­tion $£ to speed up this process.

On some models the alternative
super fan forced function will
need to be operated in order to
burn in the elements.
