Use
35
EN
3 Use
3.1 First use
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (if fitted) (see 4 Cleaning
and maintenance).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum
temperature to burn off any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
3.2 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
To switch the oven on:
1. Turn the temperature knob clockwise until
the desired temperature value is
reached.
2. Select the cooking time (up to 60’), or set
manual cooking using the timer
knob.
Cooking modes
The oven is designed for a
maximum load of 30 kg.
Defrost
The movement of air at room
temperature causes frozen food to
defrost quickly. This type of rapid
defrosting is ideal as the taste and
appearance of the de-frozen food,
whether previously deep-frozen or
frozen in the freezer, remain
unaltered.
Normal cooking
Using the fan and the circulaire
heating element (incorporated in the
rear of the oven) allows you to cook
different foods on several levels.
Hot air circulation ensures instant
and even distribution of heat.
Cooking with humidification
Oven humidification does not take
place at temperatures lower than
150°C: lower temperatures cause
condensation and dripping.
Therefore, turn the temperature
knob to a value higher than 150°C
and wait until the (orange)
thermostat indicator light switches
off before starting the oven
humidification cycle.
It is not recommended to keep the
humidification knob turned for
more than 3 seconds at a time.

Use
36
3.3 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked
right through: At the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point
of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• 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.
Advice for defrosting
• Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on
the second level and a tray on the first
level. In this way, the liquid from the
defrosting food drains away from the
food.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.
