USING THE OVEN

- General advice

• When baking or grilling, it is advisable to always pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature, to get the best possible cooking results.
• Cooking times depend on the product quality, the food temperature and on individual taste. The times shown in the table are only indicative of thus susceptible to variations and do not take into account the time needed to pre-heat the oven.
• When cooking freeze-dried foods, check the times suggested in the products' packaging.

IMPORTANT

If your oven comes with a diet grill:

we suggest cooking chicken and roasts directly on the diet grill which rests directly on the dripping tray (see fig. on side) to avoid fat dripping to the bottom of the oven and on to the walls. Refer to the following paragraphs for further details.

- Keeping food hot

• Set the function control dial on
• Set the On-Off/Timer dial on (not on all models)
• Set the temperature to 60 , the control light (F) will come on.
• Insert the wire rack as shown in the table on page 3, and place the food on top of it.

Do not leave the food in the oven for a long time as it may become too dry.

Baking

• Insert the wire rack as show in the table on page 3.
• Set the function control dial to .
• Select the required temperature by turning the temperature dial (C).
• Set the On-Off/Timer dial (if fitted) on or to the required cooking time.
  Wait for the oven to reach the set temperature (control light goes out), then put the food in.

CLEANING

CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE

• Remove cooking residue from the pizza stone with a spatula or a broad-blade knife. For more thorough cleaning, heat the pizza stone in the oven and clean with an abrasive pad. Rinse well in hot water. Do not use detergents.
  After a time, the pizza stone will tend to become darker. This does not affect its characteristics in any way.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

• Frequent cleaning avoids smoke and bad odors during cooking.
  Before any type of cleaning unplug the appliance from the wall.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
  The grill, drip tray and diet grill may be washed as other kitchen ware, either by hand or in the dishwasher.
  To clean the outside surface always use a moist sponge. Avoid using abrasive products that could damage the finish. Ensure water or soap does not penetrate the inside of the oven through the vents positioned on top of the oven.
  To clean the inside aluminum walls never use aluminum-corrosive products (spray detergents) and never scrape the walls with sharp or pointed objects.

Some models come with a bottom opening-panel for easier access as well as cleaning, open the (H) panel by pressing on the spring-latch (fig.A), position the oven on its back (vertically) (fig.B). In this manner, your cleaning will be easier. Once cleaning is finished, close the panel and make sure that the latch is well closed.
