USING THE OVEN

General tips

• When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the set temperature, so as to achieve best results.
• The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The times indicated in the table are purely indicative and subject to variation, and do not include the time required to preheat the oven.
• To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.

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.

Defrosting 水\ 水 (*)

For proper defrosting in a short time, proceed as follows:

• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the * position.
• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the "●" position.
• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.
• Place the wire rack (I) in the lower guide (as shown in the figure on page 12) and rest the food to be defrosted on a tray on the wire rack, then close the door.

Example of defrosting: 1 kg of meat, 80-90 minutes without turning it over.

Delicate cooking

Cooking on 2 levels at the same time with the convection oven (*)

The convection oven function allows different foods to be cooked at the same time, placed on 2 levels.

The heat provided by the 2 heating elements is distributed inside the oven by the air, circulated by the fan.

In this way, the heat reaches every part of the oven uniformly and quickly; the air inside the oven is very dry, preventing the mixing of fragrances and flavours.

top heating element
bottom heating element

To cook two dishes at the same time, simply observe these simple general rules.

1. The cooking times for recipes cooked at the same time are higher than the times when cooked alone.
2. Around halfway through cooking, exchange the position of the 2 dripping pans, placing the top one on the lower wire rack and vice-versa.

In addition, turn the dripping pans half-way around.

Note: the wire racks must be positioned as shown in the figure to the side.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odours during cooking. Do not let fat accumulate inside the appliance. Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the oven and wait for it to cool down. Clean the door, the inside walls and the enamel or painted surfaces of the oven with a soap and water solution; dry thoroughly. To clean the aluminium surfaces on the inside of the oven, never use products that corrode aluminium (detergents in spray cans) and never scrape the walls with sharp objects.

To clean the outside surface always use a damp sponge. Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the paintwork. Make sure water or liquid soap does not seep into the slits on the top of the oven.

Never immerse the appliance in water; never wash it under a jet of water.

All the accessories are washed like normal dishes, either by hand or in the dishwasher.

Some models come with a bottom opening-panel for easier access as well as cleaning, open the 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.
