Hints and tips for using the oven
Always cook with the oven door
closed.
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air
and the constant recycling of steam. This
system makes it possible to cook in a
steamy environment and keep the dishes soft
inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the
cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam
may be produced which can be released when
opening the oven door. This is absolutely
normal.
However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven
door during cooking or at the end
of it to allow any build up of steam
or heat to release.
When food is heated, it produces
steam in the same way as a boiling
kettle does. When steam comes in
contact of the oven door glass, it will
condense and produce water droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the
oven is well heated before placing food
in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-
heating (about 10 minutes) will then
be necessary before any cooking.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the
appliance.
Conventional cooking
Heat comes from the top and from the bottom,
therefore it is preferable to use the central
runners.
If cooking requires more heat from the top or
from the bottom use the top or the bottom
runners.
Fan cooking
The food is cooked by means of preheated air
force blown evenly round the inside of the oven
Fan cooking
by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself.
Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly
and fast and this means that you can simulta-
neously cook different types of foods
positioned on the various oven shelves (Fig.
4). Fan cooking ensures rapid elimination of
moisture and the dryer oven environment stops
the different aromas and flavours from being
transmitted from one food to another.
The possibility of cooking on several shelf
heights means that you can cook several differ-
ent dishes at the same time and up to three
tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten
immediately or subsequently deep frozen.
Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking
on just one shelf. In this case you should use
the lowest set of runners so that you can keep
an eye on progress more easily. In addition,
the oven is particularly recommended for
sterilizing preserves, cooking home-made fruit
in syrup, and for drying mushrooms or fruit.
Grilling
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on
them and always place them on the oven grid.
The shelf level depends on the thinckness of
the food.
Always place the dripping pan at the lowest
level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and
unpleasant smells.
