7. USE OF THE OVEN
For the models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the display
shows the symbol
.
7.1 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 "8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER ”.
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.
7.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after
the oven has been turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.
7.3 Use of the electric grill
For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is already cooked,
select the static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature.
The fan grill function (certain models only) allows actual cooking procedures to be carried out,
thanks to the fan function which ensures that the heat penetrates into the food. For this
cooking mode, select the fan grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the ideal cooking
temperature (never set at more than 200° C).
7.3.1 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 bushing, select the or or fan grill function and turn the
thermostat knob to the temperature of choice (never set at more than 200° C).
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.
