[. . . ] The lid must be raised (open) when the oven or hob is being used. Before lighting the burners lift the glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool. 7. 5 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 6 Internal light The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 18 Instructions for the user 7. 7 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards. 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. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. 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. 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. To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's lid (where present) must always be raised when using the oven. . 21 Instructions for the user 8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN On multifunction models only: The ECO symbol indicates which function gives the least energy consumption. ECO: (pyrolytic models) Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it provides low energy consumption. 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. 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. SMALL GRILL: (on some models only) Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any types of grilled vegetable side dishes. ROTISSERIE GRILL: (on some models only) The rotisserie functions in combination with the grill element, allowing to perfectly brown food. BOTTOM: The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that require a longer basic cooking time, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. FAN-ASSISTED STATIC: The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. 22 Instructions for the user FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. shin of pork).
