USEFUL NOTES FOR COOKING

In the following table, some indicative hints for cooking:

FAULTS

CAUSES

REMEDIES

The upper crust is dark and

Not enough heat

- Use the natural convection position

the lower part too pale

from the bottom

- Use deeper cake tins

- Lower the temperature

- Put the cake on a lower shelf

The lower part is dark and the Excessive heat

- Use the natural convection position

upper crust too pale

from the bottom

- Use lower side tins

- Lower the temperature

- Put the cake on a higher shelf

The outside is too cooked and Too high temperature

- Lower the temperature and

the inside not cooked enough

increase the cooking time

The outside is too dry even

Too low temperature

- Increase the temperature

though of the right colour

and reduce the cooking time

COOKING WITHOUT FAN

- Natural convection

Preheat the oven for 10-15 minutes. Grease the meat with a little oil,

put it on the drip-tray and place everything quickly into the oven. In

mid-cooking change the meat position, avoiding any further opening

of the door, if possible.

- Grilling

Preheat the grill for about 5 minutes (till the heating element becomes

red).

Prepare natural or aromatized meat and place it on the grill pan. Place

on the shelf near the top. Place the drip-tray with a little water

underneath for collecting the cooking juices. The grill can be used to

gratinate and brown after normal cooking.

COOKING WITH FAN

- Defrosting

To defrost food, place it still wrapped up in its aluminium or polythene

sheet protection on a dish.

Place everything on the grid in the oven centre.

The door must be closed.

- Fan oven

It is not necessary to preheat the oven, except for very short cooking

times or food with considerable quantity of liquid (e.g. fruit tartes) to

avoid condensation.

In case of batch cooking, you can introduce food with approximately

equal cooking temperatures (even if the length of time differs) on two

or more shelves without mixing tastes and flavours.

It is possible to put food into the oven or to take it out of it without

heat losses caused by the door opening. Heat will be quickly recovered

by means of the fan.

Cooking temperatures are lower than those of the convectional oven

(from 20 to 30°C for pastries and from 30 to 40°C for meats) whereas

times are longer (50° - 10 minutes).

- Fan assisted grill

It does not need preheating. Cooking must be operated with the door

closed. The distance between grill and food should be proportionate

to the required results:

- nearer for undone meat brown on its surface

- far from it for food perfectly baked inside.

The drip-tray with a little water for collecting meat juices has to be

placed on the first shelf underneath.

MISCELLANEOUS

Marinated meat and boneless meat cook quicker than other sorts;

cooking progress can be checked by pressing the meat with a fork;

if it does not yield, it is properly cooked.

Before slicing the meat wait at least 15 minutes, to allow the juice to

settle.

If the meat is larded or covered by bacon, it should not be cooked

at too high temperatures to avoid splattering.

Pastry cakes should be cooked blind for 2/3 of the cooking time

before being filled. The remaining cooking time depends on the

garnishing (fruit, jam). Beaten doughs should not be too much fluid,

as this could only extend cooking times.

Do not place pans directly on to the oven base as the heat which

comes from below cannot escape. This may cause breakage or

cracking of the enamelling.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

THE RULES CURRENTLY IN FORCE, AND ONLY BY AN

AUTHORIZED ELECTRICAL INSTALLER.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Check that the power rating of the mains supply and of the sockets

are suitable for the maximum power of the appliance as indicated on

the specification plate. Fit the plug into a socket fitted with a third

contact which corresponds with the earth connection. This should be

properly connected. If the appliance does not come already fitted with

a plug, fit a regulation plug to the cable which is capable of taking the

power indicated on the specification plate. The earth wire is yellow/green.

If the plug fitted to the appliance, and the socket, are incompatible,

get a profesionnally qualified person to fit the correct type of plug. The

same person should have also make sure that the thickness of the

cable is suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance. Mains

connection can also be made by fitting a monophase switch with a

minimum gap between the contacts of 3 mm, proportionate to the load

and complying with the regulations in force.

The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch.

The plug or monophase switch used for mains supply connection

should be easy to get at, once the appliance is in position.

Important: position the mains supply cable so that it is never subjected

to a temperature which is more than 50°C above ambient temperature.

The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed when

it has been correctly connected to an efficient earthed power supply,

as laid down in the regulations for electrical safety.

Important: the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage

to persons or objects due to the lack of an earth connection.

OVEN MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE PLUG FROM THE CURRENT SOCKET OR

SWITCH OFF THE CURRENT ON THE POWER SUPPLY LINE BY

MEANS OF THE MAINS CIRCUIT SWITCH, BEFORE CARRYING

OUT ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE OVEN.

If the cable is damaged, fit a replacement in the following way:

- remove the mains cable (see fig.6-7) and replace it with one of the

same length which is rubber insulated (type H05RR-F) and suitable

for the power rating of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lear are coloures in accordance with the

following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW .............................................EARTH

BLUE.....................................................................NEUTRAL

BROWN .........................................................................LIVE

TYPE AND SECTION OF SUPPLY CABLE

USER INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Before you use the appliance for the first time, check that the plastic

films protecting some parts (facia panel. parts in stainless steel, etc.)

have been removed.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

- Before cooking in the first time we recommend that the oven should

be operated at 200°C for 30 minutes to remove any manufacturing

greases and odours.

- Do not place items or pan directly on to the oven bottom.

- Foil should only be used to cover food and not oven shelves or

part of the oven. When used improperly will obstruct the air

circulation causing problems in cooking and/or harmful accidents.

ATTENTION

The oven is an appliance which, for its nature, becomes hot,

especially in correspondence of the glass door. It is therefore a

good rule that children do not approach the oven when it is

functioning, particularly when the grill us used.

• WARNING -Accessible parts will become hot when in use.

To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.

IMPORTANT

This appliance must be used exclusively for cooking food and not for

any other purpose.

Any other use of the appliance (such as heating a room) is improper

and therefore dangerous.

The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for any damage caused

by the improper and unreasonable use the appliance.

There are certain basic rules which must be observed when using

any electrical appliance, i.e.:

- disconnect the appliance from the electric mains supply before

carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation.

- never try to remove a plug from the mains supply socket by pulling

on the cable.

- never touch an appliance if your hands or feet are wet or damp.

- never operate an appliance if you are barefoot.

- never allow children or incompetent people to use the appliance

unsupervised.

- in case of neglient use near the oven door hinges, you could hurt

your hands.

Fig. 6

- if the appliance breaks down and/or does not work properly, switch

off and do not tamper with it.

All repairs hold be carried out only by an approved service agent.

You should insist that only original spare parts are used.

Failure to follow the above advice can affect the safety of your

appliance.

INDICATORS LIGHTS

The indicators lights situated above the control panel go on and off

when the heating elements are inserted or removed. During the

thermostatic functioning of the oven, the neon light remains on until

the pre-chosen temperature is reached and when it goes out, this is

a sign that the temperature has been reached. When the oven cools,

the thermostat determines the re-insertion of the heating elements

with consequent relighting of the indicator lights. In some models the

Fig. 7

internal oven light, which is always on when any function is in operation,

is considered as an operating warning light.
