Cooking desserts - Desserts require a very high temperature (usually from 150 to 200°C) and a
pre-heated oven (about ten minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least 3/4 of the
cooking time has elapsed. Whipped dough must be difficult to detach from a spoon because
excessive fluidity would prolong cooking time to no avail.
Cooking meat - Meat to be cooked should weight at least 1 Kg to prevent it drying too much.
Very tender red meats to be cooked rare, which must be cooked on the outside to keep all their
gravy, require short cooking time at high temperature (200-250°C). The gravy ingredients must
be placed immediately in the pan only if the cooking temperature is brief, otherwise they should
be added during the last half-hour. You can check the degree of cooking by squashing the meat
with a spoon: if the meat does not yield, it is correctly cooked. For roast beef and fillet, which
must remain pink inside, cooking time must be very brief. Meats may be placed on a plate
suitable for oven cooking or directly on the grill, under which you should place a tray to collect
the gravy. When cooking has finished, we advise you to wait for 15 minutes before cutting the
meat so that the gravy does not come out. Before being served, the dishes may be kept hot in
the oven at minimum temperature.
10. Routine cleaning and maintenance
(WARNING: Cut power to the appliance before every operation)
General cleaning - Clean the oven when it is cold. Wash enamelled parts with lukewarm water
and soap, do not use abrasive products, steel wool, or acids, which could ruin them. To clean the
steel parts, do not use products containing chlorine (sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, etc)
even if diluted. Use specific off-the-shelf products or a little hot vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with
water and dry with a soft cloth. Clean the glass door of the oven with hot water only, and do not
use rough cloths. Do not allow foods (especially acid foods such as salt, vinegar, lemon, etc) to
stagnate on the stainless steel parts, because they could deteriorate. Do not wash the appliance
with direct jets of water, because if water enters, this could limit the appliance's safety. Do not
use corrosive substances (e.g. hydrochloric acid) to clean the oven' s support bench.
Cleaning the oven - It is good practice to clean the oven interior at the end of every day of duty.
In this way it will be easier to remove cooking residues, preventing them from burning when the
oven is next used. Clean it accurately with hot water and soap or with the appropriate off-the-
shelf products.
Replacing oven lamp - Electrically switch off the appliance; unscrew the protective glass cap;
unscrew the lamp and replace it with another lamp suitable for high temperatures (300°C), with
the following characteristics:
-
Voltage
230/240 V
-
Power
15 W
-
Fitting
E 14
Refit the glass cap and power up the appliance.
