Electric ovens
Static ovens;
heat for the oven is produced by the electric elements fitted in the top and bottom
(base)
of the oven; the elements can work together or independently. This allows you to finish off recipes
quickly towards the end of the cooking period.
Where food may need more heat at the top or the bottom. The temperature is kept Constant by the
thermostat according to the selected level, which varies between 50 and 250°C. Only open the door
when it is strictly necessary during cooking.
During this type of cooking, humidity loss from the food is slow and uniform.
Fan ovens;
heat is produced by the forced circulation of hot air inside the oven. A circular element
positioned around the oven fan heats the air, and it circulates by the fan which distributes the hot air
evenly and rapidly. In fact, with this type of oven, cooking is faster than with traditional ovens and you
should set your cooking temperatures 10-20°C lower than normal (160°C to 180°C is ideal). Once
again the thermostat maintains the pre-selected temperature Constant inside the oven, which can vary
between 50 and 250°C. Oven preheating is recommended for cooking pastries, in other cases it is not
necessary. It is ideal for cooking several dishes together without altering the flavors in any way.
To switch the oven on;
turn the oven knob marked by the
or the
symbol, towards the right
to the desired temperature, depending on the type of cooking.
3.3. USING THE GRILL (Closed Door Grilling)
For safety reasons, the electric grill and gas oven cannot be used together.
The food should be placed on the oven grill and this must then be placed inside the oven depending on
the type of food, e.g. flat or thin meat should be placed on the level closest to the grill, while a roll of
roasting meat, poultry, etc. should placed on the centre level, the juice tray should be fitted on the
guides below the grill.
ALWAYS ENSURE THE DOOR IS CLOSED FOR GRILLING.
Using the electric grill:
a)
MODELS WITH GAS OVEN:
to avoid simultaneous use of
the oven and the grill, for safety reasons, the knob must
be in the off position, i.e. the • symbol, Then press the
electric grill button
which is on the front control
panel (fig 12 previous page).
b)
MODELS WITH ELECTRIC OVEN:
are switched on by
turning the oven knob
to the right (clockwise
direction) until the indicator points to the grill symbol
(last position of the knob).
c)
MODELS WITH MULTIPLE-FUNCTION OVENS:
The function knob must be turned to the right (clockwise direction) to the grill position
,
then turn the oven thermostat knob and select the desired temperature. In position 6, using the
grill with the fan and cooking on the rotisserie, the oven door must be closed and the
thermostat suggested at 160°C.
