Using the oven

The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which

produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam.

This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to

release.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with alumi- nium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners.When food is heated, steam is created, like in a kettle. When the steam comes into contact with the glass in the oven door, it condenses and

creates water droplets.

To reduce condensation, always preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes.

We recommend you wipe the water droplets away after every cooking process.

Always cook with the oven door closed. Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door

using the door handle, until it is fully open.

Fan cooking

-The food is cooked by means of preheated air force blown evenly round the inside of the oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself.

-Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly and fast and this means that you can simultaneously cook different types of foods positioned on the various oven shelves . Fan cooking ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the dryer oven environment stops the different aromas and flavours from being transmitted from one food to another.

-The possibility of cooking on several shelf heights means that you can cook several different dishes at the same time and up to three tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten immediately or subsequently deep frozen.

-Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking on just one shelf. In this case you should use the lowest set of runners so that you can keep an eye on progress more easily.

-In addition, the oven is particularly recommended for sterilizing preserves, cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for drying mushrooms or fruit.

Grilling

-Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.

-Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.

-Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats

-When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used.

-The food should be turned over during cooking, as required.

How to use the Grill

1.Turn the oven control function knob on .

2.Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature.

3.Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more

gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking.

Duringcooking,thecoolingfanandthethermostatcontrollight will operate in the same way as described for the fan oven function.
