For the models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the display shows the
symbol
.
During and after use the accessible parts of the oven may be very hot, and children must always
be kept at a distance.
9.1
Warnings and general advice
Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (
260°
C) for as long
as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a
power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently and show
. To adjust refer to paragraph "12.
ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER ”
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the
requirements of the current directive.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or
oven trays on it as 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 problems caused by steam in the oven, open the door in two stages:
half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open.
To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to
prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
9.2
Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on a few minutes after the oven
has been turned on.
Operation of the fan generates a normal air flow which comes out from the rear of the hob and may
continue for a short time even after the oven is turned off.
9.3
Use of the electric grill
For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat, select the static grill function
;
set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill
knob. The ventilated grill function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks to the forced ventilation which
lets heat penetrate inside the food. For this type of cooking select the ventilated grill function
, set the
thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature (never more than
225
°C) and adjust grill intensity by
means of the variable grill knob. Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.
9.3.1 Operation of the grill + rotisserie
Both the static and the fan grill functions can be used for cooking in combination
with the rotisserie. Fit the spit rod into the rotisserie locator, select the
static or
fan grill function, set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (
260
°C) and
adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob, without exceeding the ¾
stroke as shown in the figure. Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must
never last more than 60 minutes. All cooking procedures with grill + rotisserie must
be carried out with the door closed to prevent the knobs and front panel of the
appliance from overheating.
