4.5 How To Use The Oven
• COOKING MODE
All cooking should be carried out with the door closed.
BOTTOM + FAN - The combination of the bottom heating
element and fan is ideal for fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pastries. It
prevents food from becoming too dry and encourages bread dough to
rise. Place the shelf in the bottom position in the oven.
BOTTOM - Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all
pastry based dishes. Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pâté and any
cooking that needs more heat from below.
*
BOTTOM + TOP - Both top and bottom heating elements are
in use. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking.When
cooking red meat, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread or foil wrapped
foods.
*
BOTTOM + TOP + FAN - Both top and bottom heating
elements are used in conjunction with the fan, which circulates hot air
throughout the oven.We recommend this method for poultry, pastries,
fish and vegetables. By using this method better heat penetration is
achieved and cooking and preheating times are also reduced. The fan
cooking option allows you to cook different foods together at different
positions in the oven all at the same time, providing even heat
distribution but without the risk of mingling tastes and smells. When
cooking different foods at the same time allow a further 10 minutes.
CIRCULAR HEATING ELEMENT + FAN - Air that has been
heated is blown by the fan onto the different levels. It is ideal for cooking
different types of food at the same time (e.g. Meet and fish) without
mixing tastes and smell. It cooks very gently and is ideal for sponge
cakes, pastries, etc.
GRILL - Using the top heating element. Success is
guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. The grill should
be pre-heated to a high temperature for 5 minutes. White meats should
always be placed at some distance from the grill element, the cooking
time is slightly longer but the meat will be more succulent. Red meat and
fish fillets can be placed directly onto the shelf with the drip tray placed
beneath on lower shelf position.
GRILL + FAN - The top heating element is used in conjunction
with the fan which circulates the hot air around the oven. Pre heating is
recommended for red meats but is not necessary for white meats.
Grilling is ideal for cooking thicker food items such as pork or poultry.
Food to be grilled should be placed directly at the centre of the middle
shelf.
By sliding the drip tray underneath the shelf it will ensure that any juices
are collected. For best results always make sure that the food is not too
close to the grill element and turn the food over half way through the
cooking time.
GRILL + TURNSPIT + FAN - The advantage of using the top
oven element at the same time as the fan and rotisserie is that the food
is evenly cooked, preventing it from becoming dry and tasteless. The
rotisserie is programmed to continue rotating for approximately five
minutes after cooking, making full use of the residual oven heat.No pre-
heating is required for rotisserie cooking.
DEFROST - When the dial is set to this position. The fan
circulates hot air around the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few
minutes without the protein content of the food being changed or
altered.
The temperature is preset in 40°C constant, no regulation is possible.
KEEP WARM - This is recommended to reheat precooked
foodstuff, positioning the shelf on the second level from top, or to defrost
bread pizza or pastry by positioning the shelf on the lower level.
The temperature is preset in 60°C constant, no regulation is possible.
PIZZA - With this function hot air circulated in the oven to
ensure perfect result for dishes such as pizza or cake.
SOFT COOK - Soft cook is the function for the confectionery
and the bread. Thanks to its reduced fan speed, this function increases
oven internal damp. The increased damp creates the ideal conditions of
cooking for those foods that need to maintain an elastic consistence
while they are cooking (ex. cakes, bread, biscuits) avoiding surface
breakages.

4.6 Cooking Tips
It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the
meat to spatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke.
Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven
cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks
through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the
joint.
Correct preheating is the basis of successful red meat cookery.
GRILLS
• Before loading the grill:
Remove the meat from the refrigerator a few hours before grilling. Lay it
on several layers of kitchen paper. This improves seizing, making it
tastier and avoids it staying cold at the centre.
Add pepper and spices to the meat before grilling, but add any salt after
cooking. This way it will seize better and stay juicy. Baste all the food to
be cooked with a little oil. This is best done with a wide flat basting
brush.Then sprinkle with more pepper and herbs (thyme, etc.).
• During cooking:
Never pierce the food during cooking even when you turn it. This lets the
juice out and it becomes dry.
BAKING
Avoid using shiny tins, they reflect the heat and can spoil your cakes. If
your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or
aluminium foil.
Caution: The correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards the
cake. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not
penetrate the food.
Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of cooking:
Soufflés, brioches, sponge cakes, etc. will tend to fall.You can check if
cakes are done by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal knitting
needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready and you
can stop cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of cake
attached, continue baking but slightly lower the thermostat so that it is
finished off without burning.
5. Service Centre
Before calling the Service Centre.
If the oven is not working, we recommend that:
•Check that, if the oven is properly plugged into the power supply.
If the cause of the fault cannot be detected:
•Disconnect the oven from the mains, do not touch the oven and call the
after sales service.
Before calling the Service Centre remember to make a note of the serial
number on the serial number specifications plate.
The oven is supplied with a guarantee certificate that ensures that it will
be repaired free of charge by the Service Centre whilst under guarantee.
This appliance is marked according to the European
directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting
substances (which can cause negative consequences for
the environment) and basic components (which can be re-
used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific
treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all
pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not
become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:
• WEEE shall not be treated as household waste.
• WEEE shall be handed over to the relevant collection points managed
by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
• When you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long
as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the
supplied equipment.
ENERGY SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open
the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity
disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch
off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the
cooking time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to
generate. Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any heat dispersal
outside of the cavity. If you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff,
the "delayed cooking" programme makes energy saving more simple,
moving the cooking process to start at the reduced tariff time slot.
