CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• NOTE: To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that
• The enameled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances that could ruin them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains are difficult to remove, use special products available on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.
•  The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap; The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as limescale –remover, etc…) as these could damage the enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form, Dry it using a soft cloth.
• There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning, Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact you’re nearest After-sales Service Center. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
• Never line the oven bottom with aluminum foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• Do not store flammable material in the oven.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

CAUTION

Some features only exist for certain models

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives that allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline that may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook food using several racks, use either the “Conv Roast” mode, as these are the only modes that allow you to do so. When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use the “Conv Roast” mode, which allows you to cook on 2 racks at the same time (the 2nd and 3rd from the bottom). Some examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

Using the “Broil”

This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes. Use the “Broil” mode, placing the food under the center of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 2th rack from the bottom) because only the top heating element is turned on. Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and /or grease and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bottom. When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Baking Cakes

When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.

The pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 50°F and reduce the cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 50°F.

The pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

The Pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the Bake or Conv Bake.

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and 4th with a temperature of 450℉ and place the pizzas in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10 minutes .

Cooking Fish and Meat

When cooking white meat , fowl, and fish , use a temperature setting from 350℉to 400℉. For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside,it is a good idea to start with a high-temperature setting (350℉to 400℉) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterward. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the center of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

CAUTION

Cooking times are approximate and may vary according to personal taste. When cooking using the grill or fan-assisted grill the dripping pan must always be placed on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Some features only exist for certain models
