AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES NOTE: Some models are not provided with all accessories. Rack: useful for holding cooking containers. Tray rack: it can be combined with the oven tray. Oven tray: useful for collecting fat from foods placed on the rack above. Reduction pan stand: useful when using small pans. The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation. Accessories available on request: • Original supplied and optional accessories may be ordered from any Authorised Assistance Centre. • Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer. • • • • • 5. 1 Using the rack or tray • • • • • The racks and trays are equipped with a mechanical safety lock which prevents them from being taken out accidentally. To insert the rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is facing downwards (as shown in the figure at the side). The mechanical lock (or the extension piece where present) must always face the back of the oven. Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop. • • • • • 5. 2 Using the tray • • • • • The tray has to be inserted into the rack (as shown in the figure). Using this, foods can be cooked on the rack and the fat can be collected separately. • • • • • 5. 3 Using the reduction pan stands • • • • • The reduction pan stands should be placed on top of the hob pan stands as shown in the adjacent figure. 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. 5 Internal light • • • • • • The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 42 • Instructions for the user 7. 6 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 open it fully. 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. • Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. • • 43 • Instructions for the user 8. 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 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. • • • • 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. • • • • • • • • LARGE 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. • • • • FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. [. . . ] The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LPG GAS and 13 mm for NATURAL GAS and CITY GAS. Installation with a standards-compliant rubber hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1. 5 metres; make sure that the hose does not come into contact with moving parts and that it is not crushed in any way. Verify that all following conditions are met: • the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps; • no part of the hose is in contact with hot walls (max. 50 °C); • the hose is not under traction or tension and has no kinks or twists; • the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners; • if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try to repair it; replace it with a new hose. • verify that the hose is not past its expiry date (serigraphed on the hose itself). 53 • Instructions for the installer • Make the connection to the gas mains using a rubber hose whose specifications comply with current standards (verify that the reference standard is stamped on the hose).
