User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX COMPETENCE 6001M-DR

[. . . ] The cooker must be installed in an adequately ventilated room. NOTE: It is imperative that the appliance is left in the base to protect both the appliance and the floor. This cooker is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling the door handles. [. . . ] Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the trivet or grill pan base if preferred. l Use the trivet to keep fat splashing to a minimum when grilling meat items. l Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. l Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. l When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. 22 l Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. l The food should be turned over during cooking as required. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local AEG Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

Some pizzas should be cooked directly on the oven shelf. To prevent soiling the oven base, place a baking tray in one of the lower positions. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as damage will occur. THE EFFECTS OF DISHES ON COOKING RESULTS Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc, which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and underneath browning. Enamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath browning. Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning. SELECTING THE BOTTOM HEAT FUNCTION Towards the end of the 'Cook' time, scroll through the main oven function selectors using or until the 'Bottom Heat' neon is illuminated. Always cook food thoroughly immediately after thawing. DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge. 25 HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods. Always ensure food you purchase is of good quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable source and buy the 'freshest' looking package - avoid shop worn labels or produce covered in dust. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable. Buy and consume foods prior to the 'Sell by' or 'Best Before' date. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods. [. . . ] 5.
