COOKING ADVICE

The external parts of the appliance become hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

OVEN COOKING

To cook, before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

When the oven has reached the desired temperature, introduce the food, control the cooking time and tum off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a.Set the switch to position .

b.Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven.

c.Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

d.Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 130 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position

and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.

Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

■■ that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C. ■■ that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME

The fan assisted oven set on position gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods.

Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavours.

This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical

element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.

The only precautions to follow are:

■■ The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C.

■■ The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in relation to the cooking times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.
