DeLonghi RO2050.B Electric Oven Owner’s Manual

DeLonghi RO2050.B Electric Oven

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

• The cord length of this product has been selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated no less than 15 amps., 120 volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories/CSA listing.

• A six feet long, 15 amp. extension cord may be purchased from your local authorized service facility.
  When using a longer cord, be sure not to let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally pull or trip over it.

• Handle the cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining the cord at the plug and appliance connections.

• When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the set temperature.
• The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The times indicated in the table are subject to variation, and do not include the time required to preheat the oven.
• To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.

Toast

• The dimensions of the wire rack (G) allow six slices of bread to be toasted at the same time. Best results are achieved, however, with four slices at a time.
• To toast the bread, place the slices as shown below:

Toasting one slice

Toasting two slices

Toasting four slices

Toasting six slices

For consecutive uses, reduce the set toasting time.

Instructions for toasting bread

To automatically toast frozen bread, sandwiches, muffins and waffles, always use the wire rack.

1. Place the wire rack in the guide 2.
2. Place the food to be toasted in the center of the wire rack. Close the door.
3. Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “TOAST/BROIL” position and the function selector (D) to the “BAKE” position.
4. The Timer knob (B) should be turned clockwise. When using the appliance for the first time, turn the Timer knob (B) to a medium value. Toast a few pieces of bread to check the set level. If necessary, adjust the knob as desired.
5. When toasting bread, both the top and bottom heating elements are on to toast both sides at the same time. A little condensation may form on the inside of the glass door. This is normal. It will disappear during toasting.
6. An audible signal indicates the end of the set time. The toasting is complete and the heating elements automatically switch off. Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” position.

Note:

This appliance can automatically perform various degrees of toasting.
If, however, lighter toasting is preferred, simply stop the automatic cycle by turning the Timer knob (B) to the “OFF” position, to switch the oven off, without the risk of damaging it.
For darker toasting re-start the cycle by turning the Timer (B) clockwise until reaching the desired level.

Then manually turn the thermostat knob and the toast timer knob off, as described previously.
The best positions for each type of bread can be identified when using the oven regularly.
Tips for good toasting:
Larger pieces of bread and frozen bread take longer to toast. Just one slice of bread requires a lower setting than for multiple slices.

Broil

• Place the food to be grilled on the broil rack (P) inserted on the bake pan (H), and place them together in the guide 1.

• Close the door until you hear a “click” (see figure 1).
  

• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the BROIL or BROIL & ROTIS position.

• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the “ON” position.

• When cooking is completed, turn the Timer knob (B) manually to the “OFF” position.

• Turn halfway through cooking.

Grilling with the turnspit (only on some models)

This function is ideal for cooking chickens on the spit, fowl in general, roast pork and veal.
The rotisserie function can be used for a load up to 4.5 pounds.

• Place the food on the spit (I) and hold it firm using forks (fig. 2) (for best results, tie the meat using kitchen string).
  

• Insert the bake pan (H) in the guide 3 and the spit (I) in the turnspit mount (O) (fig. 3).
  

• Close the door until you hear a “click” (see figure 1).

• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to position TOAST/BROIL.

• Turn the function knob (D) to position BROIL & ROTIS.

• Turn the timer knob (B) to the “ON” position.

For information on the cooking times, refer to the instructions in the table below.

For larger foods, we recommend the FAN & BAKE mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odors during cooking. Do not let fat accumulate inside the appliance.
Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the oven and wait for it to cool down. Clean the door, the inside walls and the enamel or painted surfaces of the oven with a soap and water solution; dry thoroughly.
To clean the surfaces on the inside of the oven, never use products that corrode aluminum (detergents in spray cans) and never scrape the walls with sharp objects to avoid damage to the non-stick coat.

To clean the outside surface always use a damp sponge.
Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the exterior.
Make sure water or liquid soap does not seep into the vents on the top of the oven.
Never immerse the appliance in water; never wash it under a jet of water.

All the accessories are washed like normal dishes, either by hand or in the dishwasher.
Slide the crumb tray out from under the bottom of your oven. Wash by hand. Should the soilage be difficult to remove, rinse the crumb tray with hot soapy water and if necessary, scour it delicately, without scratching it.
