and fruit.
Cooking desserts - Desserts require a very high temperature (usually from 150 to 200°C) and a
pre-heated oven (about ten minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least 3/4 of
the cooking time has elapsed. Whipped dough must be difficult to detach from a spoon
because excessive fluidity would prolong cooking time to no avail.
Cooking meat - Meat to be cooked should weight at least 1 Kg to prevent it drying too much.
Very tender red meats to be cooked rare, which must be cooked on the outside to keep all their
gravy, require short cooking time at high temperature (200-250°C). The gravy ingredients must
be placed immediately in the pan only if the cooking temperature is brief, otherwise they should
be added during the last half-hour. You can check the degree of cooking by squashing the
meat with a spoon: if the meat does not yield, it is correctly cooked. For roast beef and fillet,
which must remain pink inside, cooking time must be very brief. Meats may be placed on a
plate suitable for oven cooking or directly on the grill, under which you should place a tray to
collect the gravy. When cooking has finished, we advise you to wait for 15 minutes before
cutting the meat so that the gravy does not come out. Before being served, the dishes may be
kept hot in the oven at minimum temperature.
10. Routine cleaning and maintenance
(WARNING: Cut power to the appliance before every operation)
General cleaning - Clean the oven when it is cold. Wash enamelled parts with lukewarm water
and soap, do not use abrasive products, steel wool, or acids, which could ruin them. To clean
the steel parts, do not use products containing chlorine (sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid,
etc) even if diluted. Use specific off-the-shelf products or a little hot vinegar. Rinse thoroughly
with water and dry with a soft cloth. Clean the glass door of the oven with hot water only, and
do not use rough cloths. Do not allow foods (especially acid foods such as salt, vinegar, lemon,
etc) to stagnate on the stainless steel parts, because they could deteriorate. Do not wash the
appliance with direct jets of water, because if water enters, this could limit the appliance's
safety. Do not use corrosive substances (e.g. hydrochloric acid) to clean the oven' s support
bench.
Cleaning the oven - It is good practice to clean the oven interior at the end of every day of duty.
In this way it will be easier to remove cooking residues, preventing them from burning when the
oven is next used. Clean it accurately with hot water and soap or with the appropriate off-the-
shelf products.
