Cooking hints

5.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This classic cooking system, with the heat coming from below and above, is suited to
cooking foods on one level only. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and
put the food in the oven only after the thermostat light has gone out.
Deep-frozen meat can be put directly into the oven without defrosting. The only
precaution to take is to select lower temperatures, around 20°C, and cooking times
about 1/4 longer than fresh meat cooking times. Very fat meat can be put in when the
oven is still cold.
5.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
This system is suitable for cooking different foods and on more than one level (fish,
meat etc.) without mixing of tastes and smells.
The circulation of air in the oven ensures uniform heat. No preheating is required.
5.3 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH AT MAXIMUM
AND DOOR CLOSED
This permits rapid golden-browning of foods. For longer cooking periods and grilling
on wide surfaces it is better to insert the grill on a lower guide-slot, depending on the
size of the pieces to be cooked.

Cooking hints
25
5.4 Grill cooking with hot air
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH AT MAXIMUM
AND DOOR CLOSED
This permits a uniform distribution of heat and a greater penetration in depth. Food is
lightly golden-browned on the outside while remaining soft inside.
Maximum cooking time 60 minutes.
5.5 Delicate cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH
FROM 50° TO 250°C
Suitable for pastries, cakes and non-dry sweets in baking tins or moulds. Excellent
results are also obtained in cooking requiring above all heat from the bottom.
You are advised to put the pan on a low level.
5.6 Defrosting
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION 0
Food can be rapidly defrosted by the movement of air at room temperature.
The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter the taste and
appearance of the food.

Cooking hints

5.7 Recommended cooking table
Cooking times, especially meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food
and to consumer taste.

Cleaning and maintenance
6. Cleaning and maintenance
28
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
6.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep the oven in good condition, you should clean it at regular intervals (after it has
cooled). Take out all removable parts.
6.1.1 Routine cleaning of oven
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products
that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
6.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for steel together with non-scratch
sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic utensils.
For particularly stubborn stains or burns, use special oven detergents.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
6.2 Door glass
You are advised to keep it very clean, washing with a damp sponge and ordinary
detergent.

Extraordinary maintenance
29
7. Extraordinary maintenance
The oven will on occasion need minor maintenance or replacement of parts subject to
wear. Specific instructions for each of these procedures appears below.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
7.1 Replacement of oven light bulbs
Remove upper oven protection Aand ring Bas well as the glass cover C, unscrewing
it anticlockwise. Replace light bulb D. Reassemble ring B, cover Cand upper
protection A.
The standard bulbs are halogen: do not touch them directly with your fingers.
Use insulation to protect your hand.
Use only bulbs that are available at authorised service centres.
7.2 Cleaning of hot air fan
The fan has to be cleaned at regular
intervals. Remove the rear deflector by
unscrewing nuts E. With your hand keep the
blades stopped and, using a coin, loosen the
central ring nut F, rotating clockwise.
In this way, it is easier to remove any
cooking residues, preventing them from
burning the next time the oven is used.
After having cleaned the fan, reassemble it
and the rear deflector, proceeding in the
opposite order with respect to the
disassembly instructions.

Extraordinary maintenance
30
7.3 Removing the door
Use the two splines:
open the door, insert the splines Ginto the slit of the hinges and push them towards
the oven. Half-close the door upward to form an angle of approximately 45°, then lift up
and slide off. For re-assembly, insert the hinges into its groove then let the door rest
downwards and extract splines G
or
use two pins:
open the door completely and fit the pins Hinto the holes from the inside. Close the
door to an angle of about 45°, lift it and remove it from its seat. To replace, fit the
hinges into the grooves provided, then lower the door until it comes to rest and extract
the pins. If the pins are lost, two screwdrivers can also be used.
7.4 Cleaning the inside of the window on the door
The internal surfaces of the door glass can be cleaned by disassembling the
components of the door itself. Proceed as described in paragraph "7.3 Removing the
door"; loosen the 3 fastening screws and, by means of a screw-driver, lever upwards.
Once the two door components have been separated, it is possible to carry out the
cleaning of the internal surfaces of the glass. To reassemble the door, follow these
instructions in reversed order.
