Recipe for BREAD (maximum amount of dough): Ingredients:

•1.3 kg flour

•700 g water

•25 g salt

•50 g fresh baker’s yeast or 4 sachets dried yeast powder.

Method:

•Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.

•Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).

•Make a small well in the mound of flour.

•Pour in the water and yeast mixture.

•Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes, until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.

•Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Place the bowl in the oven, set to 40° using the LOW TEMPERATURE manual function, and leave to rise for approximately 30–45 minutes. Alternatively, leave at room temperature for approximately 1 hour (until the dough has doubled in volume).

•Break up the dough, kneading gently, and divide it to create several loaves.

•Place them on a sheet of baking paper on top of the rack (or on 2 or 3 racks if you wish to cook the loaves on different shelves) and dust them lightly with flour.

•Make a few incisions in the top using a sharp blade.

•Place the rack in the oven, on shelf level 2 if using only one level, or place two racks on shelf levels 1 and 4 if using two levels, or place three racks on shelf levels 1, 3 and 5 if using three levels.

•Place the dripping pan on shelf level 7 and pour in 150 g cold water.

•Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

• Start the automatic function

BREAD.

•When the cooking process has finished, leave the loaves to rest on the rack until they have completely cooled.

Starting the oven

1.Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER shelf “D” using the two pins, with the arrows turned towards the rear part of the oven. After it has been fitted correctly, you will be able to read the text “OPENSPACE” on the front

part of the DIVIDER frame. A buzzer will sound to confirm that the DIVIDER has been fitted correctly; it will then be possible to use the two Main and Small space compartments separately or at the same time.

The EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob will be disabled.

2.Select the desired cooking function by turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION knob.

3.The oven will begin its preheating stage. The temperature may be changed by turning the

TEMPERATURE knob. The indicator light flashes during the pre-heating stage.

4.Once the pre-heating stage is completed, the icon stops flashing (becomes fixed) and a buzzer sounds. It is now possible to introduce foodstuffs into the oven.

5.During cooking it is always possible to:

-Change the cooking function by turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION knob.

-Change the temperature by turning the TEMPERATURE knob.

-Set the cooking duration in addition to the cooking end time.

-Stop cooking by turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION knob to the “0” position.

6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking function from the point at which it was interrupted, as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

Cooking functions

GRILL function

The top heating element is activated. By turning the TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. This function is particularly suitable for browning food, cooking gratins, colouring meringues, making toasted sandwiches and grilling small quantities of thin, lean meat.
