The value of these advantages should not be underestimated:
• as the cooking temperatures are very low (in general they
are lower than the temperature required for evaporation),
the dispersion of cooking sauces due to evaporation is
substantially reduced and the food becomes softer;
• when cooking meat, the muscle fibres contract less than
they would during a classic cooking cycle. The result is
a more tender meat which does not need to be rested
after it is cooked. Meat should be browned before it is
placed in the oven.
Cooking foods which have been vacuum-packed at low
temperatures , a technique used for over 30 years by the
most prestigious chefs, brings many advantages:
• culinary: flavours are concentrated and the taste, softness
and tenderness of the food are maintained;
• hygienic: provided that hygiene regulations are respected,
this type of cooking protects the food from the harmful
effects of oxygen, thus ensuring that the dishes may be
stored for longer in the refrigerator;
• organisational: thanks to the longer storage period,
dishes may be prepared well in advance;
• diet-related: this type of cooking limits the amount of fatty
substances used and therefore means that the food is
lighter and easier to digest;
• financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of the
product left after it has been cooked.
To use this technique, you must use a vacuum-packing
machine and the appropriate bags. Follow the instructions
supplied relating to vacuum-packing food carefully.
The vacuum-packing technique may also be used for raw
products (fruit, vegetables, etc.) as well as pre-cooked
products (traditional cooking).
DEFROSTNG mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-temperature
air around the food. This mode is suitable for defrosting any type
of food, especially delicate items that should not be heated, for
example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with custard, cream
or fruit.
ECO mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on,
thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and
uniform manner throughout the entire oven.This energy
saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for
heating foods and finishing off cooking.
Rotisserie spit*
To operate the rotisserie
function ( see diagram )
proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping pan in
position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie
support in position 3 and
insert the spit in the hole
provided on the back panel
of the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie
function by selecting the or modes.
!
When mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the door
is opened.
Automatic cooking modes
!
The temperature and cooking duration are pre-set ,
guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically.
These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed
Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops
automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is
cooked. You may start cooking whether the oven has been
preheated or not. The cooking duration can be customised
according to personal taste by modifying the relevant value -
before cooking begins - by ±5/20 minutes depending on the
selected programme. The duration can however be modified
even once cooking has begun. If the value is modified
before the programme begins, it is stored in the memory and
suggested again by the appliance when the programme is
next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than
the suggested value for the selected mode, the text “OVEN
TOO HOT” appears on the display and it will not be possible
to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.
The icon representing the selected mode and the icon
representing the recommended shelf position appear on
the display alternately.
!
When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven
buzzer sounds.
!
Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking
time and temperature.
BREAD mode
Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results,
we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions
below:
• Follow the recipe.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan.
• Remember to pour
50g (0,5 dl)
of cold water into the
baking tray in position 5.
• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1
½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the
dough has doubled in size.
Recipe for BREAD:
1 dripping pan holding 1000 g max, lower level
2 dripping pans each holding 1000 g max, medium and
lower levels
Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt,
25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast)
Method:
• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35
degrees).
• Make a small well in the mound of flour.
• Pour in the water and yeast mixture.
• Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with
the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform
consistency and is not too sticky.
