3. HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

This oven combines the advantages of a traditional convection oven with those of a forced oven with fan, It has extremely versatile functionality that allows you to easily and safely choose between 9 different cooking modes. You can access the selection of the different functions by placing the programmer in manual position or by setting a start/end of cooking program (see specific chapter on page 6) and successively by turning the selector (B) and thermostat knobs (C) on the control panel.

The functions are:

Oven light

When the selector knob is in any position other than the “0” position, the oven light turns on. Attention: The first time you use the oven, we recommend that you put the thermostat in the highest position and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing inside. Then open the oven door and let the room ventilate. The odor that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the furnace during storage and until installation.

Convection mode

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. The outer heating elements shall be lit at both the top and bottom of the furnace. Heat is evenly distributed from top to bottom. Convection mode is recommended for preparing meat-based dishes containing liquids in general. It is usually the best cooking mode for dried cakes and fruits in general. When cooking in convection mode, use only one drip tray or cooking grill at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Select from the different grill heights depending on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top or inferior.

Ventilated convection mode

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. The outer heating elements are activated at both the top and bottom of the furnace, as well as the fan. Based on the convection model, this combination of characteristics increases the effectiveness of thermal radiation from heating elements through forced air circulation throughout the furnace. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface by allowing heat to penetrate food. When using the air fry tray use conventional heat with fan function.

Lower heating element

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. Turning the knob to this position. The oven light and lower resistance are lit This position is recommended to finish cooking food (on baking trays) that already have the outside well cooked but still soft inside.

Ventilated grill

Important: Do not set the thermostat knob (C) to more than 175°C. During roasting, keep the oven door closed, All grill and fan components work, In this environment, the central heating elements of the top work. This will allow heat to penetrate the internal food and prevent the food surface from inginging.

Maxigrill

Important: Do not set the thermostat knob (C) to more than 175°C. During roasting, keep the oven door closed, Both heating elements of the grill are activated, For a more intense roast, select this function.

Maxigrill ventilated

Important: Do not set the thermostat control (C) to more than 175°C. During roasting, keep the oven door closed. Both grill heating elements are activated, as well as the fan and all grill components. This combination of characteristics increases the effectiveness of thermal radiation from heating elements by forcibly circulating air throughout the furnace. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing heat to penetrate food.

Defrost

Select this function to defrost more delicate foods. This mode only uses cold air circulation. The thermostat light (E) indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light is turned off, the required temperature has been reached. When the light turns on and off alternately, it means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature.

Forced fan mode

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. The circular heating element and fan will light up.The heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and dora food evenly throughout its surface. With this mode, you can also cook several dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the same time. This cooking mode is ideal for grating or those that require a long cooking time.

The excellent heat distribution allows for lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less juice loss, tenderer meat and decreased roast weight loss. The forced fan mode is especially suitable for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of seasonings, thus maintaining their taste and appearance. Forced fan mode can also be used to defrost white or red meats, fish and bread by setting the temperature between 80°C and 100°C.

4. HOW TO KEEP YOUR OVEN

Important: Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply. To extend the life of your oven, you should clean it frequently.

• Do not use steam equipment to clean the oven.
• Enameled or stainless steel parts should be washed with warm water without the use of abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap; soap should be rinsed and dry thoroughly inside. Avoid the use of abrasive detergents (e.g. powder detergents, etc…) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as softeners, etc.. ) as they could damage the enamel If grease stains and dirt are particularly difficult to remove, use a special product to clean the oven, following the instructions provided in the package.
• If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry with & soft cloth.
• There is a rubber gasket around the opening of the oven that guarantees its perfect operation.
• Check the status of this stamp regularly. If necessary, clean it and avoid abrasive products or objects to do so. If it is damaged, contact the nearest domain after-sales service center. We recommend that you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
• Never line the bottom of the oven with foil, as the consequent build-up of heat could compromise cooking and even damage the enamel.
• Clean the glass door with non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

Do not use strong abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass from the oven door, as they may scratch the surface, which can cause the glass to break.

If you choose our self-cleaning oven, you can follow the instructions below:

Inside the oven door: Clean the surface with a cloth moistened with hot water and non-abrasive liquid detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Inside the oven:

1. The interior of your oven is coated with a special enamel of self-cleaning microporous enamel, which at a normal cooking temperature of between 200 and 300°C, completely oxidizes and removes all grease stains or other substances that inevitably attack the inner walls of the oven. In this way, the cleaning is minimized: in fact, it is only necessary to rub the surfaces of the oven with a damp cloth regularly, after cooking, to remove the thin layer of ash that may have been deposited during cooking. to keep the oven’s self-cleaning property intact.
2. After cooking where the liquid has overflowed or when the dirt has not been completely removed (e.g. when roasting food, and the temperatures reached are not high enough for the full self-cleaning action of the enamel), we recommend leaving the oven at maximum temperature to remove all fat residues and the like.
3. If, after prolonged use, you find obvious grease stains deposited on the walls of the self-cleaning oven, probably because you did not follow the above maintenance tips. clean the surfaces thoroughly with hot water and a soft cloth (do not use any detergent), then rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Do not remove dry clinging grease with sharp objects, as sharp objects may scratch the self-cleaning coating.
5. Self-cleaning panels and enameled parts should be washed with warm water, abrasive powders and avoid corrosive substances.

5. PRACTICAL COOKING TIPS

Using the grill

This oven offers three different roasting modes.

Use the “Grill” setting to grill small portions such as toasted sandwiches, hot dogs, etc., to perfection.

The “Maxigrill” position is the best for roasting food quickly. For better heat distribution, not only to brown the surface but also to cook the bottom, select the “Ventilated Maxigrill” function.

This mode can also be used to brown food at the end of the cooking process.

Important: Always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you to get excellent results and save energy.

When using any of the three roasting modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob be rotated to 175°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which uses infrared rays).

However, if necessary, the thermostat can be adjusted to lower temperatures by simply turning the knob to the desired setting.

When using the grill, place the grill on the lower levels (see cooking table). To trap grease and avoid smoke, place the drip tray at the bottom grid level.

To bake cakes

When baking cakes. always place them in the oven after the oven has preheated. Be sure to wait until the oven has completely preheated (the red light “E” will turn off). Do not open the door while cooking the dough to prevent it from falling off.

The dough should not be too liquid, as this will cause prolonged cooking times.

Cooking pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the “Forced Fan Mode”:

• Preheat oven for at least 10 minutes; 
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the tray supplied with the oven. If the drip tray is used, this will prolong the cooking time, making it difficult to obtain a crunchy crust; 
• Do not open the oven door frequently while cooking the pizza;
• If the pizza has many ingredients (three out of four), it is recommended to place the mozzarella cheese on top of half the cooking process

Cooking fish and meat

Meat should weigh at least 1 kg to prevent it from drying. When cooking white meats, poultry, and fish, use low-temperature settings (150°C-220°C). For red meats that should be well cooked on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200 c-220 c) for a short time and then tum off the oven. After. In general, the higher the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat in the canter of the grill and place the drip tray underneath to collect the fat.

Make a sure the grille is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven, If you want to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low-height grids. For salty roasts (especially duck and game), season the meat with butter or bacon on top.

Cooking times may vary depending on the nature of the food, its homogeneity and its volume. When cooking a certain food for the first time, it is advisable to choose the lowest values in the cooking time range indicated in the table and then increase them if necessary.

The first guide lane is understood as the lowest position.
