Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one. Always use pots which
properly fit what you have to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.
When using the oven for the first
time
The oven will work only if the time of day
has been set (see chapter "Electronic
Programmer").
When using the oven for the first time:
a) set the oven knob to
and the thermostat
knob to MAX;
b) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes;
c) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely
normal
, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
oven accessories.
