[. . . ] To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking. 9. 4 Tangential cooling system This system keeps the door and internal components of the oven at a lower temperature through forced recirculation of cool air, guaranteeing increased safety and a longer life for the household appliance. The tangential cooling system remains active even after cooking has finished and continues working when the oven has been switched off in order to disperse all the heat that has built up inside. This mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them from overheating. 60 Instructions for the user 9. 5 Using the electric grill 9. 5. 1 Using the grill in cookers with an electric oven For short cooking processes, such as final browning of cooked meat, select the static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature setting. The fan-assisted grill function (on some models only) allows real cooking processes to be carried out, thanks to the forced fan system that ensures the heat penetrates inside the food. For this type of cooking operation, select the fan-assisted grill function and use the thermostat knob to set the ideal cooking temperature (in all cases no more than 200°C). 9. 5. 2 How to use the grill When the oven has come on, confirmed by the red light switching on, leave it to heat up for 5 minutes before placing foods inside. Foods should also be coated with oil or melted butter before cooking. The foods to cook must be placed on the oven rack, which must then be placed on one of the runners fitted in the various types of ovens, following the guidelines below: FOOD RACK ON SHELF 3 Flat, thin pieces of meat Rolled roasts 2-3 Poultry 2-3 61 Instructions for the user PRECAUTIONS · Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes. · In models with an electric oven, the oven door must be closed during grill cooking operations. · To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's glass lid (optional, not provided as standard) must always be raised when using the oven or grill. · Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well away from the appliance. · When using the oven, remove all unused trays and racks from its interior. · 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, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. 62 Instructions for the user 10. COOKING WITH THE OVEN STATIC: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. BOTTOM: The heat coming solely from the bottom makes it possible to complete the cooking of foods that require a greater basic temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. SMALL GRILL: Using only the heat released from the central heating element, this function allows to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and all types of grilled vegetable side dishes. GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly 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, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. [. . . ] Carefully screw the connector 3 to the appliance's gas connector 1 (1/2" thread ISO 228-1), placing the seal 2 between them. 1 2 3 80 Instructions for the installer 13. 4 Electrical connection The identification plate bearing the technical data, serial number and brand name is visibly positioned on the appliance. Make sure the voltage and the cross-section of the power supply line match the specifications indicated on the identification plate positioned in the storage compartment. Do not remove this plate for any reason. The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards. [. . . ]
