It provides storage space for the appliance's metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc. Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. 7. 4 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts, with the exception of the gas burner where start-up is delayed. Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well away from the appliance. 17 Instructions for the user 8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present) gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. We recommend using the 4th runner. FAN: This function is useful for activating ventilation while using the bottom gas burner. The air produced by the fan helps distribute heat evenly inside the oven. DEFROSTING: Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of air inside the oven. (We recommend using the 1st or 2nd runner). 18 Instructions for the user 8. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 8. 1. 1 General advice · We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. Place the food in the oven only once the cooking light is off. · · · · · For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights. · In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). · While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. · For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function. 8. 1. 2 Advice for cooking meat · Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. · · We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. 8. 1. 3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits · Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. · · · · The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. · Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked. · If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. 8. 1. 4 Advice for defrosting and proving · We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. · · · · 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.
