Automatic cooking modes

AUS

!The temperature and the cooking duration are pre-set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not. The cooking duration can be customised according to personal taste by modifying the relevant value - before cooking begins - by ±5/20 minutes depending on the selected programme. The duration can however be modified even once cooking has begun. If the value is modified before the programme begins, it is stored in the memory and suggested again by the appliance when the programme is next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text “Hot” appears on the display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.

!When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.

!Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and temperature.

BAKED CAKES mode

This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

BREAD mode

Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below:

•follow the recipe;

•do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan;

•remember to pour 50 g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the baking tray in position 5.

•The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1 ½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the dough has doubled in size.

Recipe for BREAD:

1 Dripping pan holding 1000 g Max, lower level

2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and lower levels

Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast)

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. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).

•Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.

•Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking paper.

•Dust the loaves with flour.

•Make incisions on the loaves.
