COOKING ADVICE
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in
full and hermetically sealed jars, is done
in the following way:
a.
Set the switch to position
.
b.
Set the thermostat knob to position
185 °C and preheat the oven.
c.
Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d.
Set the jars onto the dripping pan
making sure they do not touch each
other and the door and set the ther-
mostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.
REGENERATION
Set the switch to position
and the
thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet
with a few drops of water and put into
the oven for about 10 minutes at the
highest temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is neces-
sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS
The
FAN
consents a simultaneous het-
erogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavours together.
This is possible since the fats and
vapours are oxidized while passing
through the electrical element and
therefore are not deposited onto the
foods.
The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the dif-
ferent foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference
of 20° - 25 °C.
– The introduction of the different dish-
es in the oven must be done at differ-
ent times in relation to the cooking
times of each one.
The time and energy saved with this
type of cooking is obvious.
USE OF THE GRILL
Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door
closed
.
Place the food inside positioning the
rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to col-
lect the cooking juices.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time
(Grilling for longer
than the reccomended time may
mean the appliance overheats).
Caution: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.
