Frequently Asked Questions - PRDK-1050 M-SYSTEM

How do I install the PRDK-1050 cooker?

Ensure the appliance is placed on a level, heat-resistant surface. Connect to a dedicated 230V/16A socket. Do not plug into an extension cord. Refer to the installation guide in the manual.

What should I do if the oven doesn't heat up?

Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Verify that the oven function selector is set correctly. If the issue persists, contact M-System support for heating element replacement.

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Use a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges. Clean spills immediately to prevent staining. For burned-on residues, use a scraper tool.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the entire oven bottom as it may block airflow. Do not let foil touch the heating elements. Use only for lining baking trays.

Why is the timer not working?

Ensure the oven is powered on. The timer may need to be set after selecting a function. Check the manual for specific timer programming steps. If still faulty, reset the appliance.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the 'Key' or 'Lock' button for 3 seconds until the symbol appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents accidental operation by children.

What are the recommended oven temperatures for baking?

For most cakes, preheat to 180°C (350°F). For bread, 200-220°C. Always follow your recipe. Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.

How often should I replace the oven door seal?

Replace if the seal is torn, worn, or if heat escapes. Typically every 2-3 years. Contact M-System for genuine replacement seals.

Can I cook directly on the oven floor?

No, always use a baking tray or rack. Direct contact may damage the enamel and cause uneven cooking. Place food on the appropriate shelf level.

What does the 'Defrost' function do?

The defrost function uses the oven fan at room temperature to circulate air, speeding up thawing without cooking the food. Ideal for meat and bread.

3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.

The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays "cool" at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.

The 5 cooking zones are shown by dark disks on the ceramic surface.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the element in all settings to protect any overheating of the ceramic glass.

The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.

3 CIRCUITS RADIANT ZONES

Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig. 3.2) you can control and light up all together or separately by a 6 position switch (fig. 3.1).

Reaches the working temperature in a very short time.

Circular maze pattern with concentric rings and a central circle, labeled Fig. 3.2 (no text or symbols on the maze itself)

DOUBLE AND OVAL RADIANT ZONES

The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly.

Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from "1" to "12" (maximum temperature) (fig. 3.3).

By switching on the second element (fig. 3.4 and 3.5), the surface area of the rear right and central radiant zones can be extended.

For this purpose, turn the control knob (fig. 3.3) fully to the right (position ⊙).

After a short period of use, experience will teach you which setting is the right one for your needs.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The hob also features 5 warning lamps which are wired to the corresponding plate.

When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60^ C, the relevant warning lamp is also lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This lamp also stay on after the cooking plate has been switched off to shown that the hob surface is still hot.

This residual heat lasts for a rather long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.

During this period of time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.

Please pay special attention to ensuring children are not allowed near the hob.

The lamp will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 60^ C.

Caution!

the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

Cooking hints:

• To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch the plate on.
  After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.
• You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).
  The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most of the energy.
• Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
  The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
• To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
• Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans or containers.

Fig. 3.7

ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE COOKTOP

• Before switching on make sure that you have the correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on and to take it away after switching off.
• Use cookware with flat and even bottoms (be careful when using cast iron vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful that the bottom is clean and dry.
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the bob.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the bob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully eliminate any food remains (especially containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
• Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels.
• Do not lean over the cooking zones when they are switched on.
• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the surface is broken or damaged unplug the cooktop and contact the after-sales service.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zones when they are hot.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for some time after they are switched off (about 30 mm.).
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a work surface.

CLEANING

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.

Remove any encrustation using the scraper provided.

Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.

Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.

All traces of the cleaner have to be removed with a damp cloth.

It is highly recommended to keep off the hob any article which can melt: plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.

If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using the scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.

Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil since these can damage the ceramic.

Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface in an irreparable way

ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!

If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special tool (i.e. scraper) take extra care to avoid damage to the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.

4 - MULTI-FUNCTION OVEN (left oven)

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.

The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements which are:

• Bottom element 1400 W
• Top element 1000 W
• Grill element 2000 W
  – Circular element 2500 W
• Fan motor 25 W
• Oven lamp 15 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven for 30 minutes in the position and for another 30 minutes at the maximum temperature (thermostat knob on position 250) in the positions and, to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements.

Clean the oven and accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by forced convection

A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular heating element and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking.

It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The irradiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

Fig. 4.1
Fig. 4.2

THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 4.1)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set the switch knob on the desired program and the thermostat knob onto the desired temperature.

To set the temperature, it is necessary to make the knob indicator meet the chosen number.

The elements will turn ON or OFF automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 4.2)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions:

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the knob onto this setting we light the oven cavity (15 W).

The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50^ and 250^ with the thermostat knob.

It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. 116 e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.

Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to between 50° and 225°C for max 15 minutes, then to position 175°C.

Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

For correct use see chapter "USE OF THE GRILL"

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on “●” because the other positions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.

The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50^ and 250^ C with the thermostat knob. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 175 °C for max 30 minutes, with the thermostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Use with the oven door closed.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

For correct use see chapter "GRILLING AND "AU GRATIN".

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

THAWING AND WARMING UP

The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the upper element.

The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.

The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.

The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

COOKING ADVICE STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a. Set the switch to position
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150°C.

Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

• that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200^ .
  – that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position ✕ and ✗ gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavours.

This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.

The only precautions to follow are:

• The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a maximum difference of 20^ - 25^ .
• The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in relation to the cooking times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.

GRILLING AND "AU GRATIN"

Set the switch to position

Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the shelf.

Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on, until grilling is complete.

Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.

Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.

The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

CAUTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.

COOKING EXAMPLES

Temperatures and times are approximate as they vary depending on the quality and amount of food.

Remember to use ovenproof dishes and to adjust the oven temperature during cooking if necessary.
