The insertion heights are numbered from the bottom upwards (see figure). 6. 2. 2 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off. 6. 2. 3 Internal oven lights The oven lights come on when the door is opened (sone models only) or any function or recipe is selected. 48 Instructions for the user 6. 3 Warnings and general advice for usage All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking. 49 Instructions for the user 6. 4 Description of the controls on the front panel All the appliances control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. OVEN THERMOSTAT KNOB This knob can be used to select the cooking temperature. Turn the knob clockwise to the desired value, between 50°C and 250°C. The food must be defrosted without its wrapping. Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping. When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil. For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven. · · 7. 1. 5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill · Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. · · With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
