Burn prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN
-Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child safety

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the appliance by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

CAUTION:

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.

Do Not Use Oven Cleaners ­- No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Cookware safety

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self- clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

How to use your oven

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance.

It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob “ B ” and thermostat “ C ” situated on the control panel.

Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air in. The odor that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.

Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the rotisserie (only available on certain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Place your cookware (dishes, aluminum foil, etc. etc.) On the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Notice: to use the oven in manual mode (not using the end cooking time programmer); the symbol must be aligned with the reference mark on the control panel.

Grill 2131W
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Max. The top central heating elements comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc …
Cook food with the oven door ajar.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.

Fan Assisted Grill 2161W
Position of thermostat knob “ C “: Between 140°F and 392°F. The top central heating elements and the fan come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
Cook food in “fan assisted grill mode” with the oven door shut.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

Baking Mode 2015W
Position of thermostat knob “ C “: Between 140°F and 482°F. The rears heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods-especially cakes that need to rise, and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savory biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc. ….

“Defrosting” Mode 55W
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example :ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “ Baking ” mode and setting the temperature to 176°F-212°F.
The turnspit (only available on certain models)
To start the turnspit, proceed as follows:

  • place the oven tray on the 1st rack;
  • insert the special turnspit support on the 2nd rack and position the spit by inserting it through the special hole into the turnspit at the back of the oven;
  • start the turnspit using knob “ B ” to select setting / .

End Cooking Time Knob (I) (only available on certain models)

How to Keep Your Oven in Shape

Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.
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 which 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 lime scale -­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. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning inside of oven.
  •  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 contacts 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.
  • clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
How to Remove The Oven door

For ease of installation, some oven doors may be removed to reduce the weight of the oven by 30 lbs per door, before installing into the cabinet. See “To remove the oven door.”

Practical Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which 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 which may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods ), the “ Multi-Cooking ” mode and the “ Fast cooking ” mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.

Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either the “ baking ” mode or the “ Multi-Cooking”  mode , as these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use the “baking” mode, which allows you to cook on 3 racks at the same time(the 1st 3rd and 5th from the bottom).Some examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.
When cooking other food on several racks, use the “ Multi-Cooking ” mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:

  • The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
  • As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
  • When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
  • Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper;

Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) along with other food items. You will find useful suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes.
Use the “ grill ” mode , with the oven door ajar , placing the food under the center of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the bottom )because only the central part of 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.
Setting “ fan assisted grill” , only with the oven door shut , is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table ) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important :always use the “fan assisted grill” with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 392°F, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. 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 (the end light “ E ” will turn off ). Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 18°F and reduce the cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 18°F
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.
I used more than one level (in the function “ventilated oven”) and they are not all at the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature setting from 356°F to 392°F.
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 (392°F-428°F)for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
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.
