5.1 Warnings and general advice

paragraph "6 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER”.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with
the requirements of the current directive.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans o
r
oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, plac
e
it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in tw
o
stages: half open ( 5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To acces
s
food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent th
e
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
5.2 Use of the electric grill
For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat,
select the static grill function
; set the thermostat knob to maximum
temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill
knob without exceeding the ¾ stroke as shown in the figure. The ventilated
grill function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks to the forced
ventilation which lets heat penetrate inside the food. For this type of cooking
select the ventilated grill function
, set the thermostat knob to the desired
cooking temperature (never more than 220°C). Cooking time must not
exceed 60 minutes.
