If the appliance should be sold or given to another person, please ensure that the booklet goes together with it, so that the new owner can know of the functions of the machine and also be aware of the warnings. This warnings has been given for the safety of you and others. We therefore ask you to carefully read the procedures of installing and using this cooker. Installation · · The work of installation must be carried out by competent and qualified installers according to the regulations in force. [. . . ] 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 Always cook with the oven door closed. - Do not place cookware, utensils and objects directly on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners. 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. Advice for use of the traditional oven (gas and electric) For the cooking of cakes Pre-heat the oven , unless indicated differently, for at least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door when cooking dishes which must raise (e. g. raised pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would block the raising process. To check if cakes are cooked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out clean the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed before doing this check. As a general rule remember that: a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary, a "dry" texture would have required a shorter time and higher cooking temperature. 10 For the cooking of meat Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kilo to avoid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts with a good colour, use very little oil. If the piece is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are on the other hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side upwards; when melting the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently. Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour before cooking otherwise the sudden change of temperature could cause it to become tough. A roast, especially if of red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of cooking as salt causes juices and blood to seep out of the òmeat, thus preventing the formation of a well-browned crust. It is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just over half the cooking time. Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a deep dish shields heat. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof dish or directly on the grill, under which the dripping pan will be inserted to collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be added during the last half hour. [. . . ] The appliance is supplied with the electric cord: consequently, you have to install a plug fit for the load shown in the serial number plate. The plug has to be connected to an adequate socket. 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. [. . . ]
