[. . . ] Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the accessories and from the oven cavity. Remove and wash all the appliance accessories (if fitted) (see 4 Cleaning and maintenance). Heat the empty oven at the maximum temperature to burn off any residues left by the manufacturing process. Cooking modes Defrost The movement of air at room temperature causes frozen food to defrost quickly. This type of rapid defrosting is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the freezer, remain unaltered. Fan with circulaire The combination of the fans and the circulaire heating elements (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. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling. 3. 2 Using the oven The oven is designed for a maximum load of 12 kg. 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. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs another few minutes cooking. Advice for cooking with the Grill • Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. • With the Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value to optimise cooking. Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits • Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb the heat better. • The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. • To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: At the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. • If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. Advice for defrosting • Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. • To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. To save energy • Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven. [. . . ] Connect the appliances appropriately using this terminal in order to make sure that they are equipotential. If the phase voltage drops below 190V~, the performance of the oven may suffer, not due to the product itself. The appliance is provided with a five-core H07RN-F cable (5 x 1. 5 mm² referring to the cross section of the internal conductor). Connection modes: • 220-240 V 1N~ 3 x 4 mm² three-core cable. [. . . ]
