3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
which opens and closes the gas supply.
Line the control knob symbol up with the
indicator on the control panel (fig. 3.1) to
obtain:

– symbol ● : off

– symbol : full on

(maximum rate)

– symbol : minimum rate

- The maximum setting permits rapid

boiling of liquids, whereas the mini­mum setting allows slower warming of
food or maintaining simmering condi­tions of liquids.

- To reduce the gas flow to minimum,

rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame
symbol.

- Other intermediate operating can be

achieved by positioning the control
knob indicator between the maximum
and minimum setting, but not between
the maximum and off positions.

N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their
closed positions and also close the
cock valve on the gas bottle or the
main gas supply line.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

DEEP FAT FRYING

For safety purposes when deep fat fry­ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.

DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con­trol knobs.

Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov­ing the pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near each knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
Select the burner that is most suitable
for the diameter and capacity of the pan
to be used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pans must be used in the following way:

It is important that the base diameter of
the pot is at least the same diameter as
the burner ring to obtain an efficient
heat transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the
burners.

Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.

delay).

3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired

position.

If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto­matically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed

● position, wait for at least

1 minute and then repeat the lighting

procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult

to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

4 - FAN OVEN

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the FAN oven
are obtained in the following ways:

a. by forced convection

A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sen ds it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back
again by t h e fan t o repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food
in the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.

b. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.

c. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.

GENERAL FEATURES

With your new Fan oven it is possible to
cook a variety of food using the 2 differ­ent cooking functions.
The 2 positions, thermostatically con­trolled, are obtained by 2 heating ele­ments.

– Grill element 2200 W

– Circular element 2500 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 225) for 60
minutes in the position (fan oven)
and for another 15 minutes in the posi­tion (thermostat knob on position
200°C), to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating element inside the oven
cavity.

10

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on.
To be used with the thermostat knob on
“●” because the other positions have no
effect. The defrosting is done by simple
ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilo­gram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to
the quantity and type of foods to be
defrosted.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on.
The heat is diffused by forced convec­tion and the temperature must be regu­lated between 50° and 225 °C with the
ther mostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the
outside and tender or rare on the inside,
i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole
fish, etc.

GRILLING

The infrared grill element comes on. The
heat is dispersed by radiation.
Set the thermostat knob to between 50°
and 200°C.

Always grill with the oven door
closed.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE
OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au
gratin and toasting etc.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time on full heat (200°C).

Caution: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the following functions:

THERMOSTAT KNOB (fig. 4.2)

This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on. Rotate
clockwise until the required temperature
is reached (from 50 to 225°C).
The light above the temperature selector
will illuminate when the oven is swiched
on and turns off when the oven reaches
the correct temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during
cooking in line with the oven tempera­ture.

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only
the oven light comes on.
The light remains on whilst any of the
cooking modes are selected.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in
full and hermetically sealed jars, is done
in the following way:

a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position

185 °C and preheat the oven.

c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan

making sure they do not touch each
other and the door and set the ther­mostat knob to position 135 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position and the
thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet
with a few drops of water and put into
the oven for about 10 minutes at the
highest temperature.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is neces­sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-

perature between 180 and 200 °C.

– that the cooking time depends on the

quantity and the type of foods.

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS

The FAN consents a simultaneous het­erogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavours together.
This is possible s ince the f a ts and
vapours are oxidized while passing
through t h e electrical e l ement and
therefore are not deposited onto the
foods.

The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the dif-

ferent foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference
of 20° - 25 °C.

– The introduction of the different dish-

es in the oven must be done at differ­ent times in relation to the cooking
times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this
type of cooking is obvious.

USE OF THE GRILL

Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the
rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to col­lect the cooking juices.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time

(Grilling for longer
than the reccomended time may
mean the appliance overheats).

Caution: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.
