[. . . ] 3 Convection Mode a Position of thermostat knob "C": between 60°C and Max. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e. g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. [. . . ] How to remove the oven door For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven door. Proceed as follows: · open the door fully; · lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges; · grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly but not completely; · pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat; Reassemble the door by following the above procedures backwards. 1 2 3 Replacing the Oven Lamp · Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the plug is accessible; · Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder; · Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics: - Voltage: 230/240 V - Wattage 25W - Type E14 · Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains power supply. 5 Practical Cooking Advice When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top. Preheating If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you use the "convection mode" to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible. When preheating is over, which is indicated by the red light "E" going out, select the required cooking mode. Cooking Fish and Meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C. 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 (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. Place the meat on the centre 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 centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top. Baking Cakes When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. 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. Using the Grill Use the d "grill" mode, placing the food under the centre 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. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). [. . . ] The power supply cable must be positioned so that it does not exceed room temperature by 50°C at any point of its length. Before making the connection check that: · the circuit breakers or fuses of the home system can support appliance load (see data plate); · the power supply system has an efficient earthing connection which complies with the provisions of current regulations and the law; · there is easy access to the socket or the omnipolar circuit-breaker once the cooker has been installed. N. B. : do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as these could cause heating or burning. Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket. [. . . ]
