When food is heated, it produces steam which can
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by fault of the
oven. We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after all cookings.
The Fan Oven ( )
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
The fan situated behind the back panel circulates
heated air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan
oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first
and third position from the bottom (See Fig. 7).
If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use
the lower positions, as this will give you better
results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol and set the thermostat knob on
●
(OFF).
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This
increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
or
) and set the thermostat knob on
the required temperature. With the setting
, you
will obtain even heating on the whole surface of the
dish.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them
and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf
level depends on the thinckness of the food.
Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level,
with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant
smells.
Thermal grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature. Select a maximum temperature
of 200
°
C.
The full grill element and the oven fan operate
alternately, circulating hot air around the food. The
need to check and turn food is reduced. With the
exception of toast and rare steaks, you can thermal
grill all the foods you would normally cook under a
conventional grill.
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
If you need more heat from the bottom or from the
top, turn the oven function control knob to
(top
heating element only) or
(bottom heating element
only).
Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly
on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the
dripping pan in the first position from the bottom (see
Fig. 7) with some water in it. The dripping pan will
avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a
medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175
°
C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned
on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside),
a higher temperature (between 200 and 250
°
C) for a
short time is recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200
°
C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once
the cooking has been started, keep the oven door
closed during all the cooking time, and check the
cooking results through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly
on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top
element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking
level depending on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the
lower position with some water in it.
Grease Filter
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted
over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the
back panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the
fan impellor. Do not use abrasive materials to clean
the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding
tongue on the filter upward.
