USING THE OVEN

General tips

•When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the set temperature, so as to achieve best results.

•The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The times indicated in the table are purely indicative and subject to variation, and do not include the time required to preheat the oven.

•To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.

Wire rack insertion/extraction system (*)

If the oven is equipped with a wire rack insertion/extraction lever, follow these simple instructions:

•To insert the wire rack: push the wire rack towards the back of the oven past the rubber pad on the left of the oven until it clicks into place. When the door is closed, the wire rack automatically moves into position.

•To remove the wire rack: open the door. The wire rack is automatically ejected by a couple of centimeters. Grip it with an oven mitt and pull towards you.

Defrosting (*)

For full defrosting in a short time, proceed as follows:

•Turn the function selector dial (D) to the position.

•Turn the thermostat dial (A) to the “•” position.

•Turn the Timer dial (B) to the desired time.

•Place the flat wire rack (G) in the lower guide and rest the food to be defrosted on a tray on the wire rack, then close the door.

Example of defrosting: 1 kg of meat, 80-90 minutes without turning it over.

Delicate cooking

Ideal for pastry and cakes with icing. Good results are also achieved when completing the cook- ing of the bottom of the foods or for cooking that requires heat at the bottom.

•Place the wire rack (with a pan on it) in the lower guide, as shown in the summary table fig- ure on page 12.

• Turn the function selector dial (D) to the

position.

•Select the required temperature using the thermostat dial (A).

•Turn the Timer dial (B) to the desired time. At the end of the set time, an audible signal will be emitted; if cooking is complete before the end of the set time, turn the Timer dial (B) man- ually to the “0” position.

Keeping food warm

•

Turn the thermostat dial (A) to the “60°C” position.

•

Turn the function selector dial (D) to the

position.

•Turn the Timer dial (B) to the desired time.

•Place the flat wire rack (G) in the lower guide and rest the dish with the food on the rack. It is recommended not to leave the foods in the oven for too long, as these may dry out.

Convection oven cooking (*)

This function is ideal for baking excellent pizzas, lasagna, dishes, all types of meat dishes (apart from small poultry), roast potatoes, cakes in general and bread.

It is also suitable for cooking different foods on two levels at the same time. Proceed as follows:

•Turn the function selector dial (D) to the position.

•Select the required temperature by turning the thermostat dial (A).
