USE
Cookers
Combi-oven 673 can only be combined with a
Pelgrim electrical cooker or a Pelgrim
ceramic cooker. Combi-oven 653 can be
combined with a Pelgrim gas cooker. These
cookers have separate operating instructions.
Tip
Switch on the cooker zones one at a time at
the highest setting before using for the first
time. This will remove the “new appliance”
odour.
Using pans
Use only pans with a solid, even, preferably
thick bottom, especially when cooking or
frying at high temperatures (deep-fat frying,
for example). Uneven pan bottoms will extend
the cooking periods and require more energy.
Always use lids
When cooking without a lid, energy is wasted.
Points to pay attention to when cooking on an
electric or ceramic hob
Salty water and wet pan bottoms will damage
the cooker. Make sure the cooker zones are
always dry. If food boils over, always clean
immediately.
Heat is optimally transferred when the pan
and the cooker zone are the same size.
Switch-off timer
(if applicable)
Use without switch-off timer
– Turn the timer knob to the left to
position .
The oven can be used without switch-off
timer.
Automatic switch off with the switch-off
timer
The oven switches off automatically when the
cooking time has elapsed.
– Select the oven function and the
temperature by turning the function knob
and the temperature knob (see “Oven
functions”).
– Turn the timer knob clockwise all the way
to 120 minutes. This way you tighten the
spring.
– Turn the timer knob back (anti-clockwise)
to the desired time.
The oven has been switched on and it gives a
signal when the cooking time has elapsed.
The oven then switches off automatically.
– Turn the timer knob to setting
for maual
use of the oven.
Things to watch for
■
The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter (see electrical
connection).
■
Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
■
The glass oven door can heat up when
using the oven at maximum temperature for
a long time (e.g. during grilling). Act with
care if children are nearby.
■
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the cooker when
preparing dishes.
■
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g.
a mixer – can get caught between the door
of the convector oven or may accidentally
touch the cooking zones.
■
Always cool the oven with a closed oven
door.
■
Always grill with a closed oven door.
■
Never cover the base of the oven with
aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on
the base of the oven. The foil will block the
heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking
result will therefore not be satisfactory.
Before use of the oven
Prepare for use
■
Remove all accessories from the oven and
clean them thoroughly using a dish-
washing detergent. Switch on the closed,
empty oven at the maximum temperature
for about thirty minutes, after which the
grilling element should be switched on for
a period of fifteen minutes. Let the oven
cool off and clean it with warm water.
Please note:
When the oven is heated to a high temperature
for the first time, you will smell a “new
appliance” odour. This is to be expected.
Clean immediately
■
Spilled foods with sugar or fruit juices,
such as prune juice or rhubarb, may affect
the colour of the enamel. Spills of this type
should be cleaned immediately.
Setting the time of day
(if applicable)
When the appliance is connected for the first
time or when the power supply has been
interrupted, 3 zeros blink on the display. You
have to set the time of day.
– Press the
and
buttons at the same
time.
– Press the –/+ buttons until the correct time
is reached.
The daytime set is automatically saved after a
few seconds.
