Cookers
Combi-oven 973 can only be combined with a
Pelgrim electrical cooker or a Pelgrim ceramic
cooker. Combi-oven 953 can be combined with
a Pelgrim gas cooker. These cookers have
separate operating instructions.
Tip
Switch on the cooker zones one at a time at
the highest setting before using for the first
time. This will remove the "new appliance"
odour.
Using pans
Use only pans with a solid, even, preferably
thick bottom, especially when cooking or
frying at high temperatures (deep-fat frying,
for example). Uneven pan bottoms will extend
the cooking periods and require more energy.
Heat is optimally transferred when the pan
and the cooker zone are the same size.
Always use lids
When cooking without a lid, energy is wasted.
Salty water and wet pan bottoms will damage
the cooker. Make sure the cooker zones are
always dry. If food boils over, always clean
immediately.
Oven
Oven lighting
The oven lighting will switch on. This is the
best setting for cleaning the oven.
Hot air
The fan in the back of the oven blows hot air
into the oven. This is used to heat the dishes.
You can use several levels at the same time,
thus saving energy.
Because of the intensiv heat you can select a
temperature of 20 °C lower then indicated in
the conventional recepy.
The hot air system is highly suitable for baking
cakes, cookies and apple tarts. You can bake
on multiple levels simultaneously if desired, in
which case the tins should be aligned directly
under one another. Baking sheets with
cookies should be positioned on the second
and third levels.
Condensation
When roasting or baking, condensation will
develop, in particular when preparing bread,
pizzas, pre-fried chips, etc. This is to be
expected. When baking or roasting on multiple
levels simultaneously, more condensation will
develop.
