[. . . ] 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. Furthermore, this oven is especially convenient for quick defreezing, sterilizing preserves, homemade fruit in syrup and finally to dry mushrooms or fruit. FO 0061 Fig. 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. 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 Cooking with the multi-function oven With this type of oven it is possible to carry out cooking traditionally, by convection, and by grill; it therefore allows cooking to be optimized. Advice for use of the traditional oven (gas and electric) For the cooking of cakes Pre-heat the oven , unless indicated differently, for at 9 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. [. . . ] Should the supply cord need to be replaced, 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. The manufacturer refuses any responsability in cases where normal safety measures are not observed. Something not working If the appliance doesn't work properly check the following points before asking for service: The flow of gas seems abnormal Make sure that: the flame speader holes are not obstructed; the pressure regulator is working; the bottle valve is completely open. Gas smell in the room Make sure that: the gas valve is not open; the gas supply tube is well positioned and in good condition; remember to replace it at least once a year. [. . . ]
