Instructions for the user

8. Using the auxiliary oven with natural convection

When the auxiliary oven or grill are operating, the outer walls and oven door can become very hot.

Keep children away from the appliance.

Do not allow children to sit on the oven door or play with it. Do not use the door as a stool.

The end of cooking display and the control knobs on the main oven have no bearing on the operation of the auxiliary oven.

The auxiliary oven with natural convection is equipped with:

•a heating element positioned on the base of the oven (at the bottom);

•a heating element positioned on the ceiling of the oven (at the top) + grill.

8.1Switching on the auxiliary oven for the first time

The first time it is used, the auxiliary oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat the auxiliary oven to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped.

To start heating the auxiliary oven, select the temperature (from 60 to MAX) or the required function by turning the thermostat knob.

The temperature of the grill, top heat and bottom heat functions is not adjustable.

8.2Cooking with the grill (auxiliary oven)

Turn the thermostat knob to position and let the auxiliary oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes. For correct operations, position the grill shelf on the third guide from the bottom. It is however possible to vary the position of the grill shelf according to personal taste and different cooking requirements. Before putting food in the oven, allow it to preheat for 5 minutes. A cooling system prevents the control knobs from overheating.

8.3Cooking with the spit (auxiliary oven)

Turn the thermostat knob to position and let the auxiliary oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes. In the meantime, proceed as follows:

•insert the food on to the spit rod A taking care to hold it firm with the two forks B, and balancing it so as to avoid straining the gearmotor;

•place the pulley C of the spit rod onto the support D after introducing the opposite end into the hole E, until the coupling with the gearmotor F so that the rod rotates;

•pour a little water into the dripping pan and position it under the spit rod;

•monitor the cooking from time to time and check the spit rod is rotating correctly;

•at the end of the cooking, switch off the auxiliary oven by returning the thermostat knob to position "0";

•remove the spit rod from the auxiliary oven using the knob G and wearing an oven glove.

8.4Switching off the auxiliary oven

The oven is switched off by returning the thermostat knob to position "0".

Thermostat failure. In the event of thermostat failure, the oven becomes overheated until the safety device switches it off. As soon as the temperature lowers under the safety level the oven starts functioning again.

9. Cooking suggestions

9.1Suggestions for using the hob burners correctly

The diameter of the base of cooking utensils should fit the diameter of the burner used (see adjacent table). The burner flame must never be wider than the diameter of the utensils. Use utensils with a flat base. Where possible use pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables, potatoes, etc., use a small amount of water.

Rapid

Semi rapid

Auxiliary

Triple-ring

Fish kettle

from 24 to 26

from 16 to 22

from 8 to 14

from 24 to 26

from 16 to 35

9.2Suggestions for using the fry-top correctly

Foods cooked on the fry-top have a special taste that does not require the excessive use of spices. It is possible to cook in different ways. For example, different foods, such as meat and fish, can be cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with flavoured oil or marinating it for a few hours.

A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices are sealed in.

9.3Suggestions for using the ceramic hob correctly

In order to obtain maximum efficiency and efficient consumption, it is essential to use only utensils that are suitable for use on a ceramic hob. The diameter of the base of the utensil must be the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they are not the same. The base of the utensil must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as should the glass on the hob.

Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface.

9.4Suggestions for using the oven correctly

The oven is multifunction. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with the grill.

The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking including grilling.

9.4.1Traditional cooking

With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. It is therefore preferable to use the central guides. If the cooking requires a hotter temperature from the bottom or from the top, use the lower or upper guides. Traditional cooking is recommended for all food that requires high cooking temperatures, or long brazing times. This system is also recommended when cooking with dishes made of terracotta, porcelain and similar materials.

Instructions for the user

9.4.2Convection cooking

With this type of cooking, the food is heated by preheated air that is circulated in the oven thanks to a fan located on the rear wall of the oven. Heat rapidly and evenly reaches all parts of the oven, thus enabling different food to be cooked at the same time on different shelves. Humidity is eliminated from the air and the drier area prevents odours and flavours from being spread and mixed.

The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf allows you to cook many different dishes at the same time. Biscuits and mini pizzas can be cooked in three different baking tins. The oven, however, can also be used for cooking on a single shelf. The lower shelves can be used so that it is easier to monitor cooking.

Convection cooking is particularly convenient for bringing frozen food rapidly back to room temperature, for sterilising preserves or home-made fruit in syrup and, finally, for drying mushrooms or fruit.

9.4.3Cooking with the grill

The heat comes from the top. Almost all meat can be grilled, with the exception of lean game and dishes such as meat-loaf. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly drizzled with oil and placed on the grid bars, which should be placed in the guides closest to or furthest away from the grill element, depending on the thickness of the meat, so as to avoid burning the surface and cooking too little inside.

Suitable for: relatively thin meat; toasted sandwiches.

Pour 1 or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke forming due to splashes of juice or fat.

While cooking with the grill, the dripping pan should always be positioned in the 1st guide from the bottom.

9.4.4Cooking with the ventilated grill

Using the combination of grill and fan .

This type of cooking allows the heat to penetrate gradually inside the food, even though the surface is directly exposed to the grill.

Suitable for: thicker meat; game-birds.

9.4.5Cooking meat and fish

Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kg. Very tender red meat to be cooked rare (roast beef, fillet, etc.), or which should be well cooked on the outside and preserve all its juices on the inside, require cooking on high temperatures for a short time (200-250°C). White meat, gamebirds and fish require cooking on low temperatures (150-175°C).

The ingredients for the sauce should only be placed in the baking tin if the cooking time is short, otherwise, they should be added in the last half hour. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof plate or directly on the grid bars, below which the dripping pan should be placed to collect the juice. Press the meat with a spoon to check if it is done. If it is firm, it is cooked.

At the end of the cooking, wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat so as not to lose the juices. Before serving, plates can be warmed in the oven at minimum temperature.

9.4.6Baking

Beaten mixtures must adhere to the spoon because excess fluidity would prolong the cooking time. Sweets require moderate temperatures (generally between 150-200°C) and require preheating (approximately 10 minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least ¾ of the way through the cooking time.

Instructions for the user

9.4.7Recommended cooking tables

Cooking times vary according to the nature, type and quantity of the food. We recommend monitoring your first attempts and checking the results, as similar results are obtained by cooking the same dishes in the same conditions. The following three tables (I, II and III) provide guidelines.
