Accessories

Using the rotisserie rod

When cooking with the rotisserie, position the frame on the third runner (see page 12 EN, Guide frames). Once the frame is inserted, the shaped part must sit facing outwards

(as shown in the figure).

So that you can handle the rod with the food on it readily, screw on the handle provided.

Then prepare the rotisserie rod with the food, using the clip forks provided.

Having prepared the rotisserie rod with the food, position it on the guide frame as shown in the figure.

Insert the rod into the hole (detail A) so that it connects with the rotisserie motor.

Make sure that the pin is placed correctly on the Rotisserie frame (detail B).

Note

The rotisserie starts cooking from a cold oven. No preheat is necessary.

WARNING

1.Ensure the Plastic handle is removed before closing the door and cooking with the rotisserie.

2.Use oven gloves and take care when using the rotisserie as the oven and accessories will be extremely hot.

3.The deep oven tray must be in runner position 1 before using the rotisserie. This is to ensure hot fat drips into the tray below.

4.After cooking with the rotisserie, replace the plastic handle, and remove the rotisserie accessory from the oven within 15 seconds. Unscrew the plastic handle as soon as possible.

5.The Rotisserie rod and the Clip Forks are very sharp and great care should be taken both during their use and their cleaning.

Using the oven

Before using the appliance

WARNING

2.Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays.

General Description

Guide frames (Oven runners)

The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards

(see figure).

Remove the guide frames when cleaning and replacing the light bulb (see page 40 EN, Removing guide frames).

Telescopic oven guides, supplied can be fitted to the guide frames. The guides should be fitted according to the instructions supplied with them.

Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

3.Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “Cleaning and maintenance page 38 EN”.

4.Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature (TURBO 280°C for 15 - 20 mins.) in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

Warnings and general advice for usage

WARNING

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

Notes

1.During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

2.For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack.

3.To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

4.To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
