[. . . ] This appliance has been designed for use by adults. Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to play with it. The appliance remains hot for a long time after being switched off. Supervise children at all times, paying attention that they do not touch surfaces or remain in the vicinity of the appliance when in use or when not completely cooled. [. . . ] Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom, the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many times. A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating as it allows sufficient thermic compensation. Wide and shallow pans are more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing narrow pans on wide burners. For a proper usage, place small pans on small burners and large pans on large burners. Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption. Suggestions for the use of the oven Traditional cooking Heat derives from the top and the bottom, it is therefore preferable to use the central guides. If cooking requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or lower guides. Fan cooking Heat is transmitted to food through pre-heated air and is forcibly circulated inside the oven by a fan positioned on the back of the oven itself. In this way heat quickly and uniformly reaches all parts of the oven thus cooking various foods placed on more than one shelf. With this type of cooking the elimination of humidity from the air and a drier environment prevent the transmission and mixture of smells and tastes. The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf (fig. 14) allows many various dishes to be prepared at the same time, and up to three trays of biscuits or mini-pizzas to be consumed immediately or to be frozen. Before serving plates can be kept warm in the oven at minimum temperature. For the cooking of fish: Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperature. Cook medium-sized fish initially at a high temperature and then gradually lower the temperature. Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to finish. Check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one side of the gut; the meat must be white and opaque throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or similar. insufficiently. The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and fat can be avoided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan. The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit, such as bananas, halved grapefruit, slices of pineapple, apples, etc. Fruit should not be placed too near the source of heat. Cooking times Cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its consistency and its volume. It is advisable to watch when cooking for the first time and check results since when preparing the same dishes, in the same conditions, similar results are obtained. The TABLE OF COOKING TIMES relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a guide. Experience will show possible variations to the values set out in the table. [. . . ] If you wish to directly connect to the mains, you have to interpose an omnipolar switch with a minimum opening between contacts of 3 mm, between the unit and the mains, complying with the existing regulations. The brown live wire (originating from the clamp of the cooker junction box) must always be connected to the phase of the mains supply. In any case, the supply cord must be positioned in such a way as it doesn't reach in any point a temperature higher by 50°C than the room temperature. FO 0480 Replacement of supply cable Should the supply cord need to be replaced, use only cables of the following types: H07 RN-F, H05 RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F Moreover, it is necessary that the yellow/green earth wire is about 2cm longer than the live and neutral ones (Fig. After the connection, test the heating elements for about 3 minutes to ensure that they are working correctly.
