RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding pre-heating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in pyrex or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the various shelves. When cooking food that contains lots of water, preheat the oven.
Cooking different foods at the same time
Using the “CONVECTION BAKE” function (if present), you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires less cooking time and leave food which requires longer cooking time in the oven.

Desserts

• Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark coloured metal cake tins and always position them on the wire shelf supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.
•  To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
•  If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently.
•  For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “CONVECTION BAKE” function (if present). If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

Meat

• Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the pan, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.
• When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To avoid the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat two thirds of the way through cooking. To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Top-up when necessary.

Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the spit rod, tying it with string if chicken, and check that it is secure before inserting the rod in the seat located on the front wall of the oven and resting it on the respective support. To avoid smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the first level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and used at the end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.

Pizza
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two thirds of the way through cooking. Rising function (present only in specific models) It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by approximately one third compared to proving at room temperature (20-25 °C). Proving time for a 1 Kg batch of pizza dough is around one hour.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Use protective gloves during all operations.
Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean the surfaces with a damp micro fibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp micro fibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES
After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.

• The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate cleaning of the glass WWW .
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
•  (ONLY IN SOME MODELS) The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven: Extract the heating element from its seating, then lower it. To return the heating element to its position, lift it up, pull it slightly towards you and make sure that the tab support is in its proper seating.

ACCESSORIES

Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.

2. Close the door as much as you can.
   Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle. Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b). The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.

3. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.

4.  Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: make sure that you lower them down completely.

5.  Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.

CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS (ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

This oven could be equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.To make best use of the catalytic panels’ self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the “Convection Bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.
Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties.
Please contact our After-sales Service if you require replacement panels.
