7. USE OF THE OVEN
7.1 Warnings and general advice
Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum
temperature (260°C) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil
residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut,
the oven display will flash intermittently and show
. To adjust refer
to paragraph “5.2 Electronic Programmer”.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems,
open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm
approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To
access food, always leave the door open as short a
time as possible to prevent the temperature in the
oven from falling and ruining the food.
7.2 Use of the electric grill
For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is
already cooked, select the static grill function
and turn the thermostat
knob to the maximum temperature. The fan grill function allows actual
cooking procedures to be carried out, thanks to the fan function which
ensures that the heat penetrates into the food. For this cooking mode,
select the fan grill function
and turn the thermostat knob to the ideal
cooking temperature (never set at more than 220). Cooking procedures
in this mode must never last more than 60 minutes.
All cooking with the grill must be done with the door closed to prevent the
knobs and the front panel of the equipment to overheat.
How to use the grill
Food should be flavoured and basted with oil or melted butter before cooking.
An oven dish should be used to contain the sauces. The food should be
placed on the oven shelf which is positioned on one of the guides supplied
with the different ovens, following the instructions below:
