Advice for use
Oven cooking
•
Turn off your oven 5 minutes before the
foreseen cooking time you will save power, the
accumulated heat will allow to end cooking;
•
The thickness, the conductibility and the color of
pot influences the culinary results;
•
When cooking, certain dishes increase in
volume, choose the pot so that above the raw
mixture remain enough place;
•
For preventing fat dripping when roasting use
tall rim pans proportional to the piece to be
roasted;
•
Prick the skin of poultry and the sausage with a
fork before cooking to avoid its blowing up;
•
Between the dish and the oven grid could be put
an aluminium foil but not covering all the grid;
•
Use glass heat resisting pans for crispy and
soufflés;
•
Add some fat before finishing the cooking.
Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil. It would result in an accumulation
of heat which might damage the cooking results
and also damage the enamel. The cover has to be
opened when using the oven.
Influence of the pots on oven cooking results
You have to know that:
•
The aluminium, the terracotta pots diminish the
browning bellow and maintain the humidity of
the meals. We advice to use it for pastry, roast
meat.
•
The enamelled cast iron, the tinned pots, the
glass and the heat-proof porcelain, the pots with
non-sticky interior and colored exterior, increase
the browning bellow and dries the meals. We
suggest to use them for pies and all other crispy
cooking that has to be colored bellow and
above.
Cooking on the hob
Choose always the right pot, proportional to the
burner used.
In case you use a large bottom pot, put it slight
backwards on the plate, so that its bottom should not
outrun the front of the enameled hob, thus avoiding
flame exceeding and overheating of front panel.
Before covering make sure the hob is
cooled, otherwise the cover could be damaged.
Cleaning and care
The oven should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result
in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs
are in the OFF position, and the appliance has
cooled completely
.
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker
from the electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven,
check that they are suitable and that the
manufacturer recommends their use.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT
be used as they may dull the surface finishes.
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaner the oven
and hobs. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and
door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been
added.
In the case of stainless steel parts, you may use
commercially available stainless steel cleaners with
care. These also provide a protective film against
finger marks.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non stick
saucepans
