Comments from our cookery consultant

Your oven's various cooking modes were devised in consultation with the Scholtes cookery consultant. He is a professional chef and is an integral member of Scholtes' research and development team.

The cooking modes, temperatures and oven shelf levels reflect our expert's own experience in the kitchen, and will allow you to achieve the best cooking results with a variety of dishes.

Recommendation:

• Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven during use, as they become very hot.
  Do not place dishes or aluminium foil on the interior base of the oven, as you will cause permanent damage to the enamel surface.

Cooking modes

Scholtès ovens use various methods for producing, diffusing and conserving heat.

Your oven has 9 cooking functions, suited to various types of dishes.

Easy-to-recognise symbols help you select the appropriate function for the food you want to cook.

Defrosting

Proving to gently raise dough

Baking for bread, cakes and pizza

Pastries for baking tarts and pastries

Forced Air for cooking on several levels

Traditional for conventional cooking

Roasting for meat, poultry and au gratin dishes

Spit-roasting for roasting on the spit, oven door closed

Barbecue for grills and au gratin dishes, door partly open

Defrosting

Certain precautions should be taken when defrosting so that the outer parts of the food, which are defrosted first, are not contaminated by the rapid proliferation of microbes. Usually defrosting is done in the refrigerator (slow defrosting). You can defrost faster (in half the time) in the oven.

This function is best for:

• food to be eaten raw (strawberries, etc.),

• food to be cooked: a chicken defrosts twice as quickly using this function.

We recommend that all defrosted food be eaten soon afterwards.

Place the items to be defrosted on the enamelled tray at level No. 2.

1

P

Turn F to select the symbol

2

When defrosting is finished, turn F to 0 to turn the oven off.

The Prove function

This function is essential for making yeast dough rise properly before it is cooked. It provides a constant temperature of 40^ for the dough used in bread, brioche, pizza, etc.

The settings programmed for this function create and maintain an ideal atmosphere for helping dough rise.

To get a brioche to rise, place your preparation at level No. 2 on the enamelled tray.

1

Turn «F» and select the symbol

2

Once the dough has risen, turn «F» to «0» to turn the oven off.

This cooking mode is ideal for cakes (prepared using baking powder). This process avoids the dough drying out pastry and favours rising before the surface turns a crispy golden-brown.

We recommend that you preheat the oven.

Place your dish on the enamelled tray at level No. 2.

1

Turn knob F to select the symbol

2

Turn «T» to select the baking temperature.

Recommended temperature: 220^

Wait until the oven has heated before putting your dish in the oven.

3

At the end of the cooking cycle, turn «F» and «T» to «0» to turn the oven off.

If you wish to set a delayed start time for cooking or programme a cooking time, see page 4

This mode is ideal for tarts, quiches, etc.

The bottom crust is perfectly cooked, while the filling stays soft.

Use an enamelled tray at level No. 2.

For manual cooking, preheating the oven is recommended.

The spit supplied with your oven comprises:

• A cradle that is placed on level No. 2^ so that the spit assembly fits into the hollow motor shaft located in the back of the oven cavity, behind the perforated panel.
• A spit that pierces the meat to be roasted. The meat is held in place at both ends by two sliding forks that are held onto the shaft with wing nuts.

Important: When assembling the unit, make sure that the spit is properly inserted into the hollow drive shaft of the motor.

Check that:

• the spit passes through the centre of the meat to be roasted
  -the meat is equidistant from the ends of the spit.
• A removable handle made of insulating material and that screws onto the spit shaft. The user is protected from being burned when taking the roast out at the end of the cooking cycle. Screw the handle on tight before removing the spit.

Spit timer

Scholtes ovens are equipped with a timer device for the spit. At the end of the cooking cycle, the motor continues to turn the spit and only stops when the temperature has dropped sufficiently. This eliminates any risk of burning the meat by residual heat. In order to use the spit timer, you must first programme the spit roasting time (see page 7).

This function is especially recommended for cooking on the spit with the oven door closed. The meat turns slowly and browns evenly until it is done. Use an enamelled tray at level No. 1 for recovering the juices, and place the spit cradle at level No. 3.

We recommend that you do not preheat the oven.

Keep young children away.

This function is especially recommended for cooking ribs of beef, grills, au gratin dishes on plates, with the door partially open (a notch in the hinge is provided for this purpose).

We recommend that you do not preheat the oven.

Use an enamelled tray at level No. 1 for recovering the juices.

Place the meat on a rack and choose a level according to the thickness of the cut.

Nota

If you wish to set a delayed start time for cooking or programme a cooking time, see page 4.

Self-decreasing by catalysis

In this process, the interior walls of the oven are coated with a self-degreasing catalytic enamel. This enamel oxydizes and destroys all grease particles which splash on to the oven walls. The temperature of the walls must be over 170^ for oxydization to occur. The porosity of the catalytic enamel increases the surface exchange required for oxydizing the grease particles by catalysis.

Towards the end of the cooking period, if there are still traces of grease particles, leave the empty oven turned on with the door closed, set the temperature selector to maximum, the function selection control to for 60 to 90 minutes according to the amount of grease residue. Hot water and a soft brush can also help remove spatterings of grease.

Important: The Scholtes catalytic enamel is very resistant. However, scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife for example) or cleaning with detergents and abrasives should be avoided as this may cause irreversible damage to the self-degreasing agents in the enamel. The enamel is very resistant, and enables easy sliding action of the various accessories (main rack, drip-pan, spit) without risk of damage to the enamel. Fine white dust may appear where the surfaces make contact, however this is no cause for concern.

Observations:

1. If the walls need to be replaced, they are removable. Your local Scholtes distributor will supply you with a new set.
2. The grill element and roof are self-cleaning by the automatic destruction of residues due to the heat emitted from the element itself.
3. Other parts inside the oven such as the floor, the door the light fixture, can be cleaned with a soapy sponge. Rinse well and dry.

The accessories are produced from quality materials for easy cleaning, like everyday tableware, in a dish-washer.

Tips and recommendations

First use:

• Before using your oven for the first time, heat it once while empty, in a well-ventilated room. We recommend that you use the "Forced air" mode at 250^ for 1 hour.

If your oven gives off a lot of smoke:

• Check that you have selected the appropriate function for the dish, that you are using the right accessories and cooking at the recommended level.
• Also check the displayed temperature: it is probably too high for the dish in question.
• Check whether the oven needs cleaning. Smoke and acrid odours are often the result of charred deposits stuck to the enamel.

If the fan continues to operate after the cooking ends:

• Do not be surprised if the fan continues to function even if you have turned the oven off. It will stop automatically once the oven has cooled sufficiently.

If the oven does not heat up:

Check:

• that the electrical fuses have not blown,
• that the circuit breaker has not been triggered,
• that there is no mains power supply failure.

If the problem persists, contact your Distributor or After-Sales Service representative.
