USING THE OVEN 9. 1 Before using the appliance Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in "11. Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 9. 2 General Description 9. 2. 1 Oven runners The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are numbered from the bottom upwards (see figure). 9. 2. 2 Oven inside lights The oven light comes on every time the oven door is opened or when any function is set using the function selector knob. See "12. 1 Replacing the light bulb" for instructions on replacing the oven light. 59 Instructions for the user 9. 3 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of odours and flavours. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th runners. ) 63 Instructions for the user CIRCULAR: ECO The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and same type of cooking operation. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing odours and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th runners. ) DEFROSTING: (on the multifunction model only) Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to ensure uniform distribution of lowtemperature air inside the oven. 10. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 10. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. · · 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). 10. 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. 10. 1. 3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits · · · Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. [. . . ] 13. 3. 2 Connection with a flexible steel hose CAUTION: The following instructions are valid for all types of installation, see fig. A, B, C in chapter "13. 1 Installing in kitchen units".
