3.2 COOKWARE SELECTION

• Cookware should have a thick, flat and dry bottom of the diameter equal or slightly bigger than the hot plate. If cookware diameter is smaller than the hot plate, big amounts of heat will be lost.

• The uneven bases of the cookware make the cooking time last longer and cause higher consumption of energy.

• Cookware made of flameproof glass, suitable for cooking on the hot plate, should match the hot plate size. The pans projecting beyond the hot plate may be broken due to temperature stresses. The heated pan must never be filled up with cold water or taken away onto the cold metal or stone surfaces.

• The pan should be covered with a lid, which prevents the kitchen room from the accumulation of excessive amounts of vapour. Pan too small ! Uneven pan bottom ! Lid not properly placed ! Fig. 5 Correct !

• Low current consumption

• Good heat transfer - even pans - pan and plate diameters are equal - pan covered with lid Wrong !

• High current consumption

4.6 GENERAL HINTS ON PREPARING DISHES

4.6.1 HINTS ON OPERATING THE OVEN

• When the indicator lamp goes off, it means the oven reached the temperature required. If along with the baking tray delivered with cooker you use other baking tins, they shall be placed in the centre of the wire shelf.

• When selecting the temperature of baking, consider the following rules: Dough rolled out to thin cake - high power, short baking time. Thick and liquid dough - lower power, longer baking time.

• To check if the baking food is ready, insert a wooden stick into it a few minutes before the oven is turned off. If the pastry does not stay stuck to the stick - the food is ready. After the baking, leave the pastry in the oven for another 5 minutes.

4.6.2 BAKING / ROASTING IN THE OVEN

The baking should be carried out using the convectional heating after setting the required temperature. Place the dish in the oven when the red indicator light goes out. In the oven compartment, it is possible to cook any dish. The meat can be grilled on the baking tray or grate shelf with the tray placed underneath for catching the dripping fat. WHEN YOU BAKE/ROAST IN THE OVEN, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES Keep proper temperature of roasting!

• Roasting temperature is mainly dependent of the type and size of meat. Typically, the roasting temperature is form 200 to 250

• Easy boiling foodstuffs such as meat, vegetables, fruits, etc. may be stewed in the oven.

• Preheat the oven to 170-200

C. This setting may be kept for the full time of stewing. Oven door shall be closed during stewing. When stewing vegetable, pour a little water and stew for the shortest time possible. Excessive time of stewing deprive vegetables from valuable nutrients. Below, Tables 3 and 4 summarize approximate cooking timings for dough and meat. These are indicative values, which in practice may vary up or down. They depend on the pots used, their shapes and sizes and on the browning you prefer. Table 3. Cakes Table 4.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.3 CLEANING THE HOT PLATE

• Clean the hot plate with a damp sponge, and then dry it by turning it on for a few seconds. To ensure the aesthetic appearance, apply any commercially available grease intended for the maintenance of hot plates.

• The hot plate rings can be cleaned with agents intended for the maintenance of stainless steel parts. As a result of overheating, the ring can get yellow tint, which is normal.

• If the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time, apply some grease periodically.13

1. Before cleaning you should wait until oven cools down. Hot heaters may

2. Cleaning the oven in use of appliances for steam generation under

pressure is not allowed.

3. It is the best to clean the bottom of the oven after each use, not to allow

the remains of food and spots of oil to roast again.

• The oven compartment is coated with ceramic enamel, and both of the side covers and the rear cover are coated with catalytic enamel.

• During normal use, the oven compartment is heated to high temperatures, which facilitates absorbing the emitted fumes by the catalytic enamel.

• Periodically, especially after cooking very fat dishes, the self-cleaning cycle must be carried out. It is done by in turning the oven on for one hour's time and setting the maximum temperature (250°C). During this time, the oven door should be closed. During the self-cleaning cycle, the dirt deposited on the oven walls oxidizes and evaporates.

• After some time, the catalytic covers will loose their self-cleaning properties; when their surface becomes glossy they should be replaced.

• In order to replace the catalytic covers, it is necessary to remove the oven door and guide assembly.

5.4.1 DISASSEMBLY OF OVEN DOOR

• Open the door entirely

• Lock hinges on both sides of the door by placing the clamping ring 1 on the catch 2 of the hinge bow 3 (fig. 11)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. The hinge bow is tense with a big strength, therefore while taking out the

door a special care must be taken not to cut one's own fingers.

2. During cleaning the upper wall of oven you should pay attention to electric

heaters, temperature sensor and lamp of oven illumination; do not change position of sensor setting.

3. Do not pour water onto the bottom of oven otherwise it may trickle through

some possible leakage and get on the lower heater. In order to replace the side catalytic shields, first disassemble both sets of the guides. Removing the guides:

− press down the top bar of guides 1 in order to release catch 2 from hole 3, − tilt guides 1 toward the inside of the oven and release the lower bars from holes 4, − put catalytic shields 5 aside, − steep the guides in a solution of warm water and detergent, and then brush them with the use of a sponge or soft brush. Clean the ladder guides with a sponge or brush using dish washing agent. After cleaning, take all actions in the reverse sequence to disassembly.

5.4.3 CLEANING OF THE CHAMBER INTERIOR

• After removing all catalytic shields you can clean the inside of the chamber

• Clean the enamelled surfaces with agents intended for cleaning the kitchen.

• In order to clean stubborn baked stains you can use a special cleanser intended for oven cleaning. As these detergents are caustic, you should use them in minimal amount and with a great caution, observing the recommendations of detergent manufacturer. " In order to make cleaning of the oven interior easier, you can switch on the lamp. In order to do it, set the function selection knob to any function and the temperature control knob in "0" position. The lamp will remain lit.
