COOKING WITH THE OVEN ECO: Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it provides low energy consumption. STATIC: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and cooking time. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling even with very thick foods. In pyrolytic models, this function also includes defrosting and proving, see 7. 4 Proving and defrosting functions. 20 Instructions for the User TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) 21 Instructions for the User 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 7. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not put food into the compartment until the warning light has switched off to indicate that the preset temperature has been reached or until the display is flashing. For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights. In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. 7. 1. 2 Advice for cooking meat Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer's taste. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. 7. 1. 3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. 22 Instructions for the User 7. 1. 4 Advice for defrosting and proving We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven. [. . . ] Warning: before removing the glass panels, make sure that at least one of the door's hinges has been locked in the open position as described in "9. 2 Removing the door". This operation may have to be repeated during the glass removal process if the door is accidentally freed. 35 Instructions for the User Removing the internal glass panel: · Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1). · Doing this detaches the 4 pins attached to the glass from their slots in the oven door. Removing the middle glass panels: (pyrolytic models) · There are two middle glass panels in pyrolytic models, attached using 4 small locks. [. . . ]
