manual abstract
The only precaution to follow are: – The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C. – The introduction of the different dishes 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. How to use the Convection Oven (top oven) How to use the Convection Oven (top oven) Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away. General features The convection oven is equipped with 3 electrical heating elements: – 2 elements (upper and lower) for normal oven cooking – 1 grill element, on the top of the oven, for grilling which must be done with the oven door closed. The input of the elements is: – Upper element, 700 W – Lower element,1000 W – Grill element, 2000 W Note: Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature (thermostat knob on position MAX) for 60 minutes in the position and for another 15 minutes in the mode in order to eliminate any traces of grease from the electrical resistances. 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. Operating principles Heating and cooking in the CONVENTIONAL oven are obtained in the following ways: a. by normal convection The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements. b. by radiation The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element (use with the oven door closed). Fig. 10 Fig. 11 Fig. 10 Fig. 11 Thermostat knob (Fig. 11) This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the oven on. Rotate clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from 50°C to MAX). Function selector knob (Fig. 10) Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions. Oven light The oven is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling the food that is cooking. This light is controlled by the function selector knob (fig. 10). It remains on in all the cooking modes. Traditional convection cooking The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50° C and MAX position with the thermostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked. Recommended for: For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc. Lower heating element In this position only the lower element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural convection. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 150°C; higher temperatures are not available. Recommended for: This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher temperature at the bottom. Upper heating element In this position only the upper element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural convection. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 150°C; higher temperatures are not available. Recommended for: This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher temperature at the top. Grilling The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to between 50°C and 200°C. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL” Before using the grill, preheat for about five minutes. Always grill with the oven door closed and do not use the grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Caution: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach. Recommended for: Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc. 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. Grilling with the oven door closed. Grilling with the oven door closed and do not for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away. 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. Do’s and do not’s Do’s and do not’s Do’s and do not’s • Do always grill with the oven door closed. • Do read the user instructions carefully before using the cooker for first time. • Do allow the oven to heat for one and a half hours, before using for the first time, in order to expel any smell from the new oven insulation, without the introduction of food. ...
