For further information on the product: www. smeg. com 33 EN Instructions READ BEFORE USE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS only for South Africa GAS/ELECTRIC COOKERS Gas/Gas Cookers: • To avoid over heating when the oven or grill is being used the glass cover must always be up. • The glass cover may not be cooked on, or closed when the burners are in use and while they are still warm. • The gas oven and gas grill can not be used simultaneously. [. . . ] Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. Practical tips for using the hob For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. Cookware diameters: • Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm. • Ultra-rapid: 18 - 28 cm. Lower element The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of foods that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. 46 Use Small grill Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows you to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any types of grilled vegetable side dishes. 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 fitted), gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, spare ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. Fan with grill The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Cooking with the grill and the fan with grill must never exceed a temperature of 240°C. Fan assisted The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th shelves. Fan with circulaire The combination of the fan and the circulaire heating element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same temperatures and same type of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and even distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling. Eco Using the upper and the lower heating elements in combination is particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf, as it provides low energy consumption. Ideal for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. Not recommended for desserts which must rise. 47 EN Cleaning and maintenance 3. 7 Cooking advice General advice • Use a fan assisted function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels. • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). Advice for cooking meat • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. • Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. [. . . ] • The tightening torque of the screws of the terminal board conductors must be 1. 5 - 2 Nm. General information Check the grid characteristics against the data indicated on the plate.
