1.3 Oven Functions

This instruction manual covers the various versions of the product. Kindly ignore the sections
relating to instruments not featured on the appliance you have purchased.
Depending on the model purchased, the front panels of Bompani ovens will carry some of
the following symbols:

Oven light.

The bottom heating element is on. The oven is heated from below only.

The top and bottom heating elements are on.
The oven is heated from above and below, for “conventional cooking”.

The grill function is on. The direct, high temperature of the grill is recommended for
browning foods.

The fan grill function is on; the grill, the top heating element and the fan inside the
oven are all in operation. This function combines heating from a single direction
with forced circulation of the air inside the oven. This prevents the surface of foods
from burning and helps the heat to penetrate. Ideal for baked pasta dishes.

The food defrosting function is on.

Reduced heat fan cooking is on; the circular heating element and the fan inside the
oven are in operation. This function is ideal for proving processes.

Full fan cooking is on; the top and bottom heating elements and the fan inside the
oven are in operation.

The bottom heating element and the fan inside the oven are on. This function is ideal
for cooking pizza (For more information, refer to the section on cooking pizzas).

With the knob on all settings except zero, the red light and the oven light come on.

Use the thermostat knob to set the oven temperature. Except for the defrosting function, the
oven operates at a temperature between 50° and 250°C (some models of oven may have a
Max setting).

When the yellow light on the control panel comes on, the oven is heating up. When the oven
temperature reaches the thermostat setting, the light goes out.
The light may switch on and off several times during cooking to show that the temperature is
being kept stable.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT

USE OF THE OVEN

Safety device

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, the oven is fitted with a safety device
tripped in the event of a main thermostat failure. This cuts off the electricity supply: do not
attempt to repair the fault yourself; call your nearest Service Centre.

The oven should be left to heat up for at least 10 minutes before food for cooking is placed
inside it.

When cooking in fan mode, two shelves can be filled at the same time. However, if the
amount or type of foods is changed, cooking times also change.

Tangential cooling fan

Some models are fitted with a fan to cool the control panel, the knobs and the oven door
handle. The fan starts up automatically when a temperature of 50° is reached. When it is
in operation, hot air flows out of the vent underneath the control panel. The fan continues to
operate even after the oven has been switched off, until the temperature drops to normal
levels. If the oven is required to cool more quickly, open the oven door once cooking has
finished.

1.4 Using the Cooking Functions

Defrosting

Turn the selector knob to the

symbol and leave the thermostat on zero.
The fan in the bottom of the oven circulates the air around the food at room temperature.
It is ideal for defrosting any type of food, but especially for delicate foods where no heat is
required, such as: frozen cakes, custard or cream cakes and fruit desserts.

Conventional Cooking

Turn the selector knob to the

symbol and set the thermostat on the temperature required.
Heat is delivered from above and below, and the food is cooked evenly.

The oven is heated from below only. This function can be used to complete cooking of
a dish, or for heating up the bottom of a dish. The shelf should be put on the appropriate
runners.

Fan Cooking

Turn the selector knob to the

symbol and set the thermostat on the temperature required.
In this cooking mode, the heat inside the oven is circulated through it by a fan. This provides
more uniform heat distribution, and thus gentler cooking. This function is also useful for
cooking several dishes at once, on different shelves. In this case the top runners and the third
runners from the bottom should be used. When cooking just one dish, place the shelf on
the lowest runners for the best results. This function is ideal for cooking soufflés, which need
delicate, even cooking.

librettoIstruzioniItalstile_EN.indd 7 3-12-2007 12:31:40

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT

USE OF THE OVEN

Grilling

Turn the selector knob to the symbol and set the thermostat on the temperature required.
When the grill function is used, the central part of the top heating element operates.
The grill’s strong direct heat is recommended for foods requiring a high surface tempera­ture (especially meat or fish). This program has low energy consumption and is ideal for
grilling small dishes. The cooking time depends on the type of food and piece size. Refer
to the table below for guidelines.
If you wish to grill meat or fish, coat with a little oil or fat and place them on the shelf.
The oven is heated from below only. The shelf height depends on the thickness of the food.
The dripping pan should be placed on one of the lowest runners, but not too far below the
food. Pour a couple of glasses of water into the dripping pan to prevent the fats and liquids
which fall into it from burning. If water is present, condensation may form on the glass in
the oven door and the sides and rear of the oven. This is normal. However, the condensa­tion should be dried when cooking is complete.

Using the electric grill

To use the electric grill correctly, follow the instructions provided below:

Place the shelf high up and the dripping pan in the bottom of the oven to collect 1.
the cooking residues (juices and/or fats);
Place the food in the middle of the shelf, because it will cook less well if placed 2.
in the corners;
Turn on the grill element;3.
Turn the food over to allow it to cook on the other side.4.

Using the variable grill

To use the variable grill correctly, follow the instructions provided below:

Place the shelf high up and the dripping pan in the bottom of the oven to collect 1.
the cooking residues (juices and/or fats);
Place the food in the middle of the shelf, because it will cook less well if placed 2.
in the corners;
Turn on the grill element; Use the knob C to select the grill temperature; the green 3.
light “A” comes on to indicate that the grill element has been switched on. Use
the knob B to select the grill temperature;
After a few minutes, turn the food over to allow it to cook on the other side.4.

See “Foods for Grilling” table.

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.

Cooking with the Rotisserie (Fig 2)

For models with rotisserie, follow the instructions provided below:

To keep the meat tenderer, baste it with broth or oil every so often.
When cooked, screw the handle onto the end of the spit and remove the prong from the
motor hub.

Handle the spit with care because the ends are sharp.

Cooking meat and fish

Meat can be placed in oven-dishes or pans, or straight on the shelf. If using only the shelf,
ALWAYS pour a little water into the dripping pan and fit it onto the runners underneath the
shelf.
The dripping pan will collect the fats which melt during cooking, and the water will prevent
the fats from burning and generating unpleasant smells or smoke.
White meat, poultry and fish generally require cooking at a medium temperature (between
150 and 175 degrees); to cook red meat “rare”, use temperatures between 200 and 220
degrees for short times.

Cooking pizza

To cook pizza, use the
and the fan. This combination heats the oven quickly, with most of the heat delivered from
underneath. If more than one shelf is used at a time, their positions must be swapped halfway
through the cooking process. The recommended temperature is 220° for an average cooking
time of about 15-20 minutes.

Cooking confectionery

Cakes need a medium temperature, from 160° to 180° C.
Before starting cooking, the oven should be left to warm up for about 15 minutes: try not to
open the oven door once cooking has started.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning Enamel and Glass

Enamel is a vitreous finish with excellent resistance to heat and acids. Like glass, it may be
damaged by prolonged contact with acids, so spills of tomato sauce, lemon and vinegar
should be wiped off immediately. Use bicarbonate of soda or non-abrasive cream cleaner
for the most stubborn stains. Never use descaler products: they might cause irreparable
damage to the enamel.
Oven interiors are also enamelled and must be cleaned using specific products, easily
available from retailers. It is best to clean the oven after each use, while still warm. We
advise you not to allow dirt to build up over time since it is more difficult to remove layers
of dirt and there is a risk of leaving permanent marks on the enamel.

If you have chosen a Bompani oven with the Easy to Clean (E2C) cleaning system: the
interior is specially treated with a single type of non-stick enamel, and the enamel will be
more resistant to stains
.

Using the Self-Cleaning Oven

If you have purchased a Bompani self-cleaning oven, the side walls are coated with cata-
lytic enamel. This has a special structure which encourages the incineration of grease de-
posits while the oven is in operation.
To clean, after 10 – 15 cooking cycles leave the oven to operate with nothing inside at
maximum power for about 40 minutes. The time this operation takes will increase with the
amount of service the oven has provided over the years.
With use of the oven, the pores in the special enamel may become clogged, meaning that
the oxidation no longer takes place. In this case, wait until the oven has cooled completely,
remove the coating which has formed inside the oven with use with a soft brush, then oper-
ate the oven again at the maximum temperature for a few minutes.

Take care not to damage the surface; never clean with a
detergent except with a medium-hard brush.

Cleaning the Door Glass

All Bompani ovens are fitted with glass doors with innovative, extremely convenient char-
acteristics. The full-glass on the inside can be removed easily without the aid of any tools:
the screw-free visible fixing system guarantees that the door provides the easy cleaning
only glass can ensure.

Proceed as follows to remove the glass in the oven door correctly.

Fully open the door;•
apply gentle leverage with a coin or a flat-head screwdriver in the two recesses in the •
bottom of the inside of the door simultaneously;
released from its seat, the glass can be extracted from the recess into which it is fitted: •
After cleaning, repeat the same procedure in reverse order.•

Take care to reassemble the pieces of glass in the correct
order; the inside glass has a special heat-reflecting finish!

CARE AND CLEANING

Kindly ignore the sections relating to accessories or instruments not featured on the appli­ance you have purchased.

2.1. Cleaning

Oven Cleaning Advice

The first rule is to clean the oven often. For natural cleaning, use only hot water with •
bicarbonate of soda and/or lemon juice and/or white wine vinegar dissolved in it.
Do not use steam-cleaners.•
Detergents should not be sprayed straight onto the controls area; use a sponge.•
Never clean glass when still hot as the temperature difference may cause it to shatter. •
Always wait for glass to cool down to lukewarm.
Never use those cleaning products which contain caustic soda, solvents or many other •
harmful substances, since there is a risk that they might not be completely removed after
use, and the residues left in small cavities within the oven might be released onto the
foods cooked later.
To clean an oven which is not very dirty, wipe half a lemon over the surface, leave •
to dry and then wipe with a damp sponge to remove the residues of dirt and lemon
juice.
If the oven is very greasy, put a pan containing two litres of hot water containing a •
spoonful of ammonium inside and leave it overnight. Wipe the grease off with a sponge
next morning.
If you are going to cook particularly greasy foods, deposits can be prevented by pro-•
tecting the bottom of the oven with a sheet of aluminium foil, which can easily be re­moved with the grease residues at the end of the process.
When using detergents, keep the environment in mind and follow the producer’s instruc-•
tions. The market now offers a variety of concentrated solid or liquid detergents with
lower environmental impact.
The oven should be rinsed with plenty of water and dried after cleaning.•
Except for the runners, the oven accessories can be washed in the normal way, even in •
the dishwasher.
For superficial scratches, apply a special cleaner/polish for stainless steel, using a soft •
cloth.
Do not use silver-cleaning products.•

Cleaning Stainless Steel

Care and cleaning of the oven you have purchased are important to keep the steel bright
and uniform over time. The stainless steel used for the manufacture of our ovens is Silver
Ice, finished with a special anti-fingerprint treatment that keeps it shiny even after use. We
advise you never to use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, wire wool, acids or products
which might scratch the surface. Clean it with soft cloths and ordinary, absolutely non-abra­sive washing-up liquid; creams are not recommended because they contain tiny abrasive
particles which might leave marks on the steel.
