Cooking advice

Cooking is by definition the passage from a raw state to a cooked one.

The consequent result is appreciated according to different criteria: the colouring, any development in the dish, its smoothness or tenderness, how cooked you want it to be, etc… .

The oven settings (temperatures and cooking time) obviously depend on two important parameters:

-the size of the food or dish,

-the ability of the food to brown (quantity of sugar and eggs in the recipe).

The cooking settings contained in our table were calculated according to precise parameters and you may feel the need to make slight changes to the same in order to adapt them to your own dish and your desired degree of cooking.

Maintenance

Inside the oven

We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant odours.

Oven exterior

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abrasive or corrosive products which could damage them.

Stainless steel

Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains,

Using aluminium foil

To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may be tempted to line the same with some aluminium foil. We strongly advise against this.The aluminium foil sheet in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.

Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories

The rotisserie can be removed completely thanks to the 2 wing nuts.The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly should be cleaned together with the other accessories (dripping pan, grid) in the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or even in your dishwasher.

Disassembling the oven door

The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To disassemble the door, proceed as follows:

•open the oven door fully,

•lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,

•shut the door, but not completely,

•grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards you, pulling it out of its seat.
