Things to watch for

The appliance should only be connected by a qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
- Disconnect the appliance before starting with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by taking the plug out of the socket or by turning off the mains switch.
The glass oven door can heat up (to a max. of 100^ ) when using the oven at maximum temperature for a long time (e.g. during grilling). Act with care if children are nearby.
Grease and oil are flammable when overheated. Stay near the cooker when preparing dishes.
Cords to electrical appliances - e.g. a mixer - can get caught between the door of the convector oven or may accidentally touch the cooking zones.
Always cool the oven with a closed oven door.
Always grill with a closed oven door.

Before use of the oven

Prepare for use

Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them thoroughly using a dishwashing detergent. Switch on the closed, empty oven at the maximum temperature for about thirty minutes, after which the grilling element should be switched on for a period of fifteen minutes. Let the oven cool off and clean it with warm water.

Please note:

When the oven is heated to a high temperature for the first time, you will smell a "new appliance" odour. This is to be expected.

No aluminium foil on the oven base

• Never cover the base of the oven with aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on the base of the oven. The foil will block the heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking result will therefore not be satisfactory.

Clean immediately

Spilled foods with sugar or fruit juices, such as prune juice or rhubarb, may affect the colour of the enamel. Spills of this type should be cleaned immediately.

Cookers

Combi-oven 370 can only be combined with a Pelgrim electrical cooker or a Pelgrim ceramic cooker. Combi-oven 350 can be combined with a Pelgrim gas cooker. These cookers have separate operating instructions.

Tip

Switch on the cooker zones one at a time at the highest setting before using for the first time. This will remove the "new appliance" odour.

Using pans

Use only pans with a solid, even, preferably thick bottom, especially when cooking or frying at high temperatures (deep-fat frying, for example). Uneven pan bottoms will extend the cooking periods and require more energy.

Always use lids

When cooking without a lid, energy is wasted.

Points to pay attention to when cooking on an electric or ceramic hob

Salty water and wet pan bottoms will damage the cooker. Make sure the cooker zones are always dry. If food boils over, always clean immediately.

Heat is optimally transferred when the pan and the cooker zone are the same size.

Oven

Oven lighting

The oven lighting will switch on. This is the best setting for cleaning the oven.

Conventional

fig. 1

The dish is heated by the radiation heat of the upper and lower elements. Because the heat comes both from the upper and the lower element, the position in the oven is important. Usually the dish should be put in the middle of the oven. Do not open the door at the beginning of the process. Chances are the freshly risen pastry subsides.

When preparing puff-pastry recipes, such as cream puffs, meringue pastries, soufflés, breads, cakes, pizzas and biscuits, the best results will be achieved by using the upper and lower heating elements.

Condensation

When roasting or baking, condensation will develop, in particular when preparing bread, pizzas, pre-fried chips, etc. This is to be expected. When baking or roasting on multiple levels simultaneously, more condensation will develop.

Bottom heat

This function is advised for dishes of which the bottom need good cooking. The bottom of the dishes are thoroughly cooked. Before the end of the cooking process is reached (when there is still a quarter of the cooking time left), turn the function knob to bottom heat. Turn the temperature knob to its maximum setting. The dish will then be heated mainly by the bottom element, but will continue to brown on top.

Upper heat

This setting is suitable for a giving a short extra burst of heat to soufflés, meringues, etc., to thoroughly cook them. At the end of the cooking process, turn the function knob to the top-heat setting. Turn the temperature knob to its maximum setting.

Grill

fig. 2

For grilling of dishes without spitbar.

The dishes are heated by the radiation heat of the combined grill/backing element. The thermostat also sets the grill. The element will not continuously light, but only from time to time. The dishes get a crispy brown crust. When grilling, you should set the temperature knob to the maximum setting. This also applies when you use the rotisserie grill set. The glass oven door can heat up (to a max. of 100^ ) when using the oven at maximum temperature

for a long time (e.g. during grilling). Act with care if children are nearby.

Always grill with a closed oven door.

Grill + rotisserie

Place the grill rack in the second ledge from the top. Place a roasting rack in the ledge beneath it, and on that a baking pan with water to catch the drippings.

Place the chicken or rolled roast on the rotisserie. Ensure that the weight is evenly distributed. You can secure the meat with the pins. Place the rotisserie on the rack and stick the rotisserie prong in the hole of the rotisserie motor at the back of the oven. When the oven is turned on, the rotisserie rotates beneath the grill element, causing it to brown evenly. The rotisserie motor is a standard feature of this oven.

Attention!

Do not leave the door ajar while the oven is cooling down after grilling. The furniture front may be damaged by the heat that is released.

Housing cooling

The housing cooling is equipped with a temperature controlled cooling fan. After use of the oven at high baking or frying temperatures, the cooling fan continues to operate for a while - even if the oven has been switched off - in order to cool the oven sufficiently. After some time, the cooling fan automatically switches itself off. It is automatically switched on again if the temperature in the oven rises too much as a result of the heat still present in the oven.

Baking tips

Oven levels

Depending on the height of the pastry or cookies, place the baking sheet on the first or second level from bottom. Tins should be placed on a rack on the first or second level from the bottom.

Tins are important

In particular in ovens with upper and lower heating elements, the material from which the tin is made is extremely important. The best tins are made from black tin or are lined with a special synthetic material: these tins absorb the heat the quickest and can shorten the baking time.

How to test whether or not a cake is cooked:

Prick a skewer into the cake at its thickest point about 10 minutes before the end of the given baking time. If the skewer remains dry and no cake mixture sticks to it you can turn off the oven and use the residual heat to let the cake cook thoroughly.

The cake has not risen proper

Use less liquid next time or set the temperature 10^ lower or cook for a longer period of time. You should adhere exactly to the mixing times given in your cookery book.

The cake has sunk in the middle

The cake has risen beautifully at the edges but sunk in the middle. Do not grease the sides of the cake tin. Loosen the cake carefully with a knife after baking.

The cake is too dark on the top

Put the cake on a lower ridge in the oven, set a lower temperature, bake the cake for a little longer and, perhaps, use black baking tins.

The cake is too dark on the bottom

Put the cake on a higher ridge in the oven and set a lower temperature.

The souffle is much too dark on top

Remove the crust. Grill the top for a moment to give a golden brown crust to the souffle. Do not use Parmesan cheese: this type of cheese browns too quickly and will taste bitter. Next time put the dish a little lower in the oven and set the temperature 10^ lower.

The biscuits stick to the baking sheet

Slide the baking sheet back into the oven for a moment and then remove the biscuits immediately.

The cake will not turn out of the tin.

Carefully loosen the edge with a sharp knife.
Turn the tin upside down again and cover with a cold, damp cloth a couple of times. Next time grease and flour the tin well.

Roasting

If the meat is covered when roasted, e.g. in a casserole, it will retain its juices and little or no smoke will develop. When roasted in an open roasting tin it will brown and crisp more quickly.

The oven's roasting tin is ideal for roasting large joints, weighing over 1kg

The table below applies only when you put the dishes into a cold oven. When using top and bottom heat the dishes should be put on to the second ridge.

Roasting table

The figures in this table are guidelines.

Grilling

Place the roasting sheet on the first level in the oven.
Place the grill sheet in the middle of the oven.
Close the door and turn the knob to the grill setting.

Dark meat such as beef, game and mutton will brown more quickly than light meat, such as veal, pork and poultry. Light meat and fish filets will not be as brown on the outside, even when they are done to juicy perfection on the inside.

Smoke caused by burning grease will often develop when meat is grilled directly on the rack. The smoke development can be minimised by filling the roasting sheet with water and placing it underneath the grill rack. This will, of course, result in increased condensation.

Timetable for surface grilling

Grill meat ridge level time in mins.
Steak 4 10 - 12
Schnitzel / chops 4 12 - 16
Meat balls 3 14 - 18
Bratwurst 3 16 - 20
Fillet of fish 4 14 - 16
Toast 4 2 - 4

The figures in this table are guidelines.

Browning

To brown and crisp the outside of meat, switch the grill element on for a few moments. Wait until the top is golden brown.

Small pieces of meat

Grilled meat will retain its natural flavour if it is not coated with oil before grilling.

Large pieces of meat

These are best brushed with a thin coating of oil or butter to prevent the surfaces exposed to the heat from drying out.

Grilling using grill set DR 200 (see fig. 3)

fig. 3

The grill set DR 200 is available as an oven accessory. This set can be used for spit roasting. The food will rotate underneath the grilling element, enabling it to brown evenly. The rotation motor is built into the oven.

Cleaning

Enamelled parts

The inside of the oven door, the side panels, the base of the oven, the baking sheet and the roasting tin are all completely enamelled. These are best cleaned with hot, soapy water or a little liquid detergent; rinse well with clean water.

Chrome

Clean the ridges, the rack and the control panel with hot soapy water or a little liquid detergent, rinse with clean water.

Plastic/glass

Clean the handle and knobs with soapy water or Glassex.

Sealing rubber

Clean with hot soapy water and rinse with clean water.

A tip

Cleaning the oven regularly will prevent stubborn stains.
