9. USING THE OVEN
Before using the oven, check that the display is showing the symbol.
The appliance becomes very hot during use. oven gloves should always be worn.
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
9.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to maximum temperature long enough to
burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad smell.
After an interruption in the electricity supply, the display flashes at regular intervals, showing
. For
setting instructions, see point "10. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER".
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with the
relevant regulations.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil, and do not place pans
or trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it
so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating problems, open the door in two
stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to
access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to
prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. When the door
is opened the oven's internal ventilation cuts out automatically; it starts up again
when the door is closed.
9.2 Using the electric grill
9.2.1 Using the grill in cookers with an electric oven
For short cooking processes, such as final browning of cooked meat, select the static grill function
and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature setting. The fan-assisted grill function (on
some models only) allows real cooking processes to be carried out, thanks to the forced fan system that
allows the heat to penetrate inside the food. For this type of cooking operation, select the fan-assisted
grill function
and use the thermostat knob to set the ideal cooking temperature (in all cases no more
than 200°C).
9.2.2 Grill + rotisserie operation
Both the static grill and the fan-assisted grill make it possible to perform cooking processes in
combination with the rotisserie. Insert the rotisserie rod into the rotisserie bushing, select the grill
function
or the fan-assisted grill function
and position the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature (in any case no more than 200°C).
