manual abstract
The rack or pan should be inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food needs more heat from the top or bottom. Preheating If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required for leavened foods), we recommend using the "conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After the oven has been preheated, the red indicator light (I) will turn off. At this point, you can select the most suitable setting to cook the dish. Cooking Fish and Meat Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top. Cooking Pastries Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from dropping. The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the cooking time is not excessive. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time. The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour. Using the Grill Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected by turning the oven control knob (G) in a clockwise direction to align the symbols with the mark on the control panel. The variable temperature control (O) is positioned to right of the oven knob.This knob will provide varying grill temperatures when rotated from “max” to “min” and may be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the grilling operation. To operate the grill 1. Turn the oven control knob (G) clockwise until the required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the control panel. The element is now “on”. 2. The variable grill control (N) can now be operated to select the required heat. When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table).To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack level. Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. 7 Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning Disconnect the oven from the source of electricity before performing any maintenance or cleaning. To ensure a long life for your oven, clean it frequently and carefully, keeping in mind that: • •••••Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance. • the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels should be washed with warm water without the addition of abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could damage the finish; • stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops; • the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm; • avoid dirt and grease accumulating on the control panel by cleaning it frequently. Use non-abrasive sponges or soft cloths to avoid scratching enamelled or shiny steel parts. • Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack. Replacing the oven lamp • Unplug the oven from the mains; • Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder; • Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics:: -Voltage 230V -Wattage 25W -Type E14 • Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains. 8 Food to be cooked Wt.
