[. . . ] BUILT-IN OVEN ZPB 1260 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET ENGLISH Important Safety Information These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. During use · During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. This appliance has been designed for cooking edible foodstuff only and must not be used for any other purposes. [. . . ] The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water droplets. To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking. We recommend you to wipe away condensation after each use of the appliance. Hints and Tips on grilling If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it. When using the Thermal Grill Function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C Warning!- Do not place objects on the bottom of the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, as you can damage the enamelled surfaces and the food you are cooking. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium foils on the oven shelves. - Be careful when you insert and extract the grid and the drip tray from the oven in order not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity. Cooking times Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be cooked, its consistency, and volume. We suggest that you take particular note of your first cooking experiments with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results. Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate changes to values given on charts. Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended. Hints and Tips on baking Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 200 °C).
