Defrosting of foods in the oven

Defrosting occurs in the same way as at room temperatu- re; however at a faster rate. Electric power consumption for the defrosting of foods is very low (ab. 0.38 kWh/hr).

Cooking

Different types of foods placed on the various cooking shelves of the oven can be cooked simultaneously without any mixing up of smells. A considerable saving of electric power is also achieved at the same time. When several oven shelves are used for simultaneous cooking of various foods, always leave some space from one pan to the other for better air circulation.

Make sure that air circulation slots on the bottom wall of the oven are not obstructed. It is advisable to always use aluminium pans, ensuring that the foods contained therein do not overflow, as this could cause burning due to the flow of hot air. The intermediate oven shelves should be used when single cooking is done.

Cooking tables

The following chart provides Gas Oven Marks approximate conversions from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius (formel known as Centigrade).

This chart can be used for conversions of recipes which give oven temperatures of °F or gas mark. However do ensure a reduction is made to temperature and cooking times with Forced Air cooking: -20° in every 100°C, ten minutes in every hour.

When setting the clock, make sure the time shown on the clock is synchronized with the time indicated on dial 5.

Manual oven operation

The oven can be used normally, that is without any programming. In this case turn knob 2 of the programmer clockwise till symbol coincides with the pointer on dial 4.

Semiautomatic oven operation

Normal cooking start, programmed end of cooking: place the food in the oven; turn knob 2 of the programmer clockwise and on dial 4 set the minutes required to com- plete the cooking; turn the oven knob to the the desired temperature. Make sure the time shown by the clock is synchronized with the time indicated on dial 5.
