Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to relight. Models with Flame Failure Device These models are identified by the presence of a flame detection device (see detail H). Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple is heated. Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed. Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. ) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides. use only one dripping-pan or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, they must be switched half way through the cooking process. Ventilation Mode - Position of the “L” knob: - Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max Both the heating elements and the fan will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven due to the fan at the bottom, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled, "Cooking On More Than One Rack". This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time like lasagne etc. Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results can also be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like cabbage, beats, courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc. [. . . ] If the dripping-pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust; • Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking; • If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top halfway through the cooking process. Cooking Fish and Meat Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°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.
