Programmed cooking
Programmed cooking is no different from normal cooking.
The programmer system can control the cooking time while
the user is out or doing other tasks; consequently, foods
requiring no particular attention while cooking are to be
preferred for automatic cooking operations.
The programming of a time past 12 p.m., if you calculate
by continental time, must always be referred to by using
the first 12 hours of the day, for example: the time 20.00
hours must be understood as 8 and so on; therefore, it is
possible to program cooking 12 hours in advance.
Important
To use the oven without any programming it is necessary:
1. When setting the clock, make sure
the time shown on
the clock is sinchronized with the time indicate on
dial “5”.
2. Turn knob “2” of the programmer clock-wise till symbol
coincides with the pointer on dial “4”.
The “multifunction” cooker offers a wide range of
alternatives which allows you to cook any type of food in
the best possible way. Various functions allow heat to be
directed as required: upward, downward or evenly and
with the required intensity. With time, you will learn to make
the best use of this versatile cooker. The following
indications are only approximate and may be varied
according to your own personal experience.
Cooking on one or more shelves
Should you need to use two grids, use only function 2
“
ventilated oven
” which is the only solution for this
process.
The oven has 5 grids. When using the ventilated
cooking function, use two of the three centre grids; the
first and top grids are in direct contact with the hot air
which may burn delicate foods;
Use the 2nd and 4th grids from the bottom for general
use, and the 2nd grid for foods which require more
heat. For example when roasting meat at the same
time with other foods, place the roast on the 2nd grid
leaving the 4th grid for more delicate food;
When cooking foods with different cooking times and
temperatures at the same time, set an average tem-
perature; place the delicate food on 4th grid and remove
the food with shorter cooking time first;
Use the dripping pan on the bottom grid and the grill
on the top grid;
When cooking pizza on two grids, use the 2nd and 4th
grids at a temperature of 220°C. Preheat the oven for
at least 15 minutes before placing the pizza in the oven.
Generally cooking on the 4th grid is slower; remember
to remove the pizza from the 2nd grid first and leave
the pizza on the 4th grid to cook several minutes longer;
When baking cakes on two grids, use the 3rd and the
4th grids. Never use the 2nd grid since it is too hot.
Using the grill
The 5 programms oven offers 2 different grilling functions.
Use position 3
“
grill
” for small portions consumption in
this position is only 1200 W, but allows small portions such
as toasted sandwiches, frankfurters etc... to be cooked
perfectly. Place the food in the middle of the grill since
only the central part of the upper heating element is on.
Food which in any corner of the grill will not be cooked.
Position 4
“
The double grill
” allows food to be cooked
in all parts of the grill.
Important: the oven door must be closed when using
the grill,
not only to obtain better results but also for
energy-saving (approximately 10%). When using the grill
functions, it is advisable to position the thermostat knob
at the maximum setting so as to obtain maximum grill
efficiency, which is based on infrared ray production. It is
still possible however, to set a lower grill temperature if
necessary, just by turning the thermostat knob to the
required temperature.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels
(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent
smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.
