4.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (240°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.

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.

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

4.2 Cooling system

The oven features cooling fan which switch on
together with the oven.
Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which
exits at the bottom part of the oven front which
may continue for a brief period of time even after
the oven has been turned off.

4.3 Oven light

On all models, it is switched on by turning the thermostat knob and the
function selector knob to any function. On some models it also switches
on when the oven door is opened.

6. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking

6.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is s uitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre­heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

6.2 Hot-air cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating
is not necessary.

50 ÷÷÷÷ 240°C

37

Instructions for the user

Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.

6.3 Grill cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

.

Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the
highest guide. For short-term cooking of small quantities, place the grid
in the fourth guide from the bottom. For long-term c ooking and grills, put
the grid in the lowest guide in accordance with the size of the pieces.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

6.4 Hot-air grilling

38

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH 220

Ensures uniform heat distribution with greater heat penetration into the
food. Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must
not exceed 60 minutes.

6.5 Defrosting

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION

0

Instructions for the user

The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.

The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter
the taste and appearance of the food.
