GBC type m6 Using the Natural Conventional Electric Oven, Using the Ventilated Electric Oven

USING THE NATURAL CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC OVEN

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250° to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off before putting in any food. The oven is equipped with 4 guides at different heights (fig.19) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Table below lists the cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal experience will help to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.

USING THE VENTILATED ELECTRIC OVEN

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250° to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation.

Before cooking, allow the oven to reach the desired temperature setting waiting for the orange light to turn off. This type of oven is equipped with a circular element around which a fan has been installed that creates forced-air circulation in the horizontal direction. Thanks to this type of operation, the ventilated oven can be used for different types of cooking at the same time, without changing the taste of each food. Only some models are equipped with a removable metallic filter applied to the rear screen which collects the fat while a roast is cooking. Therefore, it is recommended to remove this fat periodically, washing the screen with soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. To remove the metallic filter just apply slight pressure toward the top on the tab indicated by the arrow. Hot-air circulation guarantees a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating the oven is not necessary, but for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the trays.

The ventilated conventional system partially changes the various notions about traditional cooking. Meat no longer needs to be turned while it is cooking and the rotisserie is no longer needed to cook a roast on the spit. Just put the meat directly on the shelf.
