Heating with peat
---------------------------------------------
When burning peat, ensure that there is
already a lively glow since peat can only be ignited
with difficulty. The combination door should not be
closed until the flames are licking through the fuel
charge. The air regulation must be left open.
For partial output and slow combustion
operation:
Fill the combustion chamber in two goes to
achieve a lively underlying glow. Once the last fuel
has been added, close the air regulation completely
or almost so. With many types of peat a shaker is
required now and then.
------------------
Cooking
------------------
Cookware
The pans used should have a solid, level
base and have lids that fit. The cooking hole cover
must not be removed for cooking.
Cooking
Add the fuel only in small quantities and add
it more often during the cooking process.
Open the heating valve as required. Pull the
position lever forwards (Page 8).
Parboiling is done in the area over the
combustion chamber. For further cooking and for
keeping food warm you can push the pans to the
edge of the hob. Pans with plastic handles are not
suitable because of the large area of heat output.
-------------------------------------------
Baking and roasting
-------------------------------------------
Always keep the heating valve closed. Move
the position lever backwards (Page 8).
Do not lay aluminium foil on the oven floor
and do not place any pots, pans etc. on the oven
floor since otherwise the oven enamel may be
damaged by the heat accumulation generated.
Fruit juices dripping from baking trays may
leave spots on the enamel that in certain
circumstances can no longer be removed.
Always preheat the oven for roasting and
baking.
Put tall cooking and tall roast dishes on the
grill at the bottom of the cooking area or on the lower
shelf.
Put flat cooking and flat roast dishes on the
tray on the lower shelf.
Avoid using tin trays or bowls where
possible.
Do not store food in the oven.
For
baking at about 180-200°C, a smaller
fire should be maintained. Then turn down the air
regulation to match and only add a little fuel.
A lively fire is required for roasting so as to
be able to keep the oven temperature above 250°C.
Wood is particularly suited as a heating fuel for
roasting because of its long flames.
--------------------------------------
Oven thermometer
--------------------------------------
The thermometer in the oven window shows
you the current temperature in the oven with a
narrow tolerance.
