5.3 Tips for the user

5.3.1 Preparing the device

• Before use, clean the device's interior and exterior using a moist cloth and mild cleaning agent. Rinse with clean water.

• To remove any unwanted odours coming from the device's thermal insulation, before using the device for the first time heat it up without food products inside according to the instructions contained in "Setup". Select the highest temperature setting and longest time. A small amount of smoke and/or unpleasant odour may be produced. This is normal during first use and should not recur. Next, open the glass pane door to allow all the smoke to escape.

• Use a mild cleaning agent to wash the baking trays and grill. Next, rinse them in clean water and dry with a soft, dry cloth.

o Temperature o Time o Quantity o Steam Temperature Precise temperature settings guarantee proper cooking of dishes both on the outside and inside. Too low temperatures cause dishes to dry out rather than cook / bake properly. Too high temperatures can cause dishes to burn on the outside while the inside remains uncooked (which is sometimes the desired result when cooking some meat).- 32 - Time This variable depends on the quantity of food in the oven. The more to be cooked, the longer time needed to cook and vice-versa. Too short cooking time, in comparison to proper cooking time, does not allow for dishes to cook thoroughly; too much time in the oven results in dishes burning on the outside. Quantity The amount of food to be cooked influences the time needed to cook / bake. A greater quantity of food requires a longer preparation time and vice-versa.

Steam Steam is activated by briefly pressing and holding (max. 3 sec.) the steam cooking button on the control panel. Water is sprayed at regular intervals into the baking chamber. The steam control light comes on. Water is sprayed into the baking chamber until the steam button is released. NOTE! The steam cooking button should only be held for a short time (max. 3 sec.) to avoid water from pooling at the bottom of the convection oven.

5.3.3 Using casts for baking / grill for baking

We recommend using: Aluminum baking casts for baking and unfrozen bread, Steel baking casts for starters, meat, fish, potatoes, Grill for baking for browning meat, such as pork chops, sausage, baked sausage, and for frozen products such as frozen pizza, bread rolls, baguettes. NOTE! Use only heat-resistant casts. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions!- 33 -

5.3.4 How the cooking / baking process works

WARNING! Danger of burns! When in use, some parts of the device get very hot. Always use the handle to open and close the oven door. Wear protective gloves when operating the oven.

The baking process in a convection oven is based on the circulation of air. The process of cooking / baking in the convection oven takes place through the circulation of hot air inside the oven. This circulation enables an even cooking process owing to even distribution of heat. A benefit of the convection oven is that it can be used to cook several dishes simultaneously (if the temperature for their preparation is the same) without the risk of mixing tastes and flavors. NOTE! Pre-heat the oven prior to every use for best results. Set the temperature to approx. 30 °C higher than the desired temperature, then adj ust it after placing the food to be cooked inside the convection oven. This will allow for even cooking.

• Turn the device on using the main regulator dial/time dial (set the desired temperature by turning the dial clockwise). The green operating control light will come on, the internal lighting will be activated and the ventilator motors will begin operating after the dial is turned.

• Set the desired temperature using the temperature regulator dial. The green heating control light will come on. After the set temperature is reached, the green heating control light will go off, and will come on again when the temperature inside the baking chamber falls.

• After the set temperature is reached, food products may be placed inside the baking chamber of the convection oven.

• Four baking trays can be placed on the four guides located inside the convection oven. When placing food inside the device, remember to maintain a distance of at least 40 mm between food and trays to ensure optimum distribution of heat in the baking chamber.

• After the set time has elapsed an audio signal will sound, the green operation control light will go off and the device will automatically shut down.

• Remove the prepared dishes.

• If the device will no longer be used, turn it off (turn the main regulator dial/time dial and temperature dial to the position marked “0” ) and remove its plug from the socket.- 34 - Grilling with adjustable power levels The process of grilling takes place through the emanation of heat by an electric element. The temperature reached by infrared heating is very high, and heat emission flows from top to bottom, colouring the surfaces of dishes quickly. NOTE! The grill function may only be used separately. It is necessary to stop the convection function (hot air), as these two functions cannot be used simultaneously! The strength of the grill heating element can be regulated from its minimum to maximum level in order to brown or broil dishes as desired. Grilling should be done with the door closed to avoid the emission of odours and smoke.

• Turn the device on using the main regulator dial/time dial (set the desired temperature by turning the dial clockwise). The green operating control light will come on, the internal lighting will be activated and the ventilator motors will begin operating after the dial is turned.

• Use the grill temperature dial to set the desired grilling function temperature (to 300 °C). The green grilling function control light will come on. After the set temperature is reached it will go off, then come on again when the temperature in the baking chamber falls.

• Coat the food to be cooked in a light layer of oil, place the dishes on the cooking grid and insert into the oven art the proper position, which is generally nearest the grill hearing element.

• Insert the drippings tray under the cooking grid.

• Monitor the grilling/baking process as food can burn quickly due to the high temperatures involved in the process.

• When the upper portion of the dishes browns, open the oven door, remove the cooking grid, turn the dish over and replace in the oven to cook it on the other side.

• The grill heating elements may be used to bake or broil dishes which have previously been cooked or baked. ATTENTION! The device is equipped with protection from overheating, which activates at 320°C and turns the device off. If this function is activated, the device must be left to cool for a time. Next, press the RESET button at the rear of the device to enable it to resume operation.- 35 -

First dishes Lasagne, pasta bake, Cannelloni should be cooked at a temperature between 185 °C - 190 °C. In order to achieve a golden yellow crust, the temperature at the end of cooking process should be increased to 220 °C - 230 °C.

Roasting Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb. Run the process at a temperature of 180 °C to ensure that the meat is thoroughly roasted. In the final phase, the meat should be scorched for a few minutes at a temperature of 240 °C - 250 °C to dry out.
