Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
Cooking fish and meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.
Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the
electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
·
the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed
with warm water without using any abrasive powders or cor-
rosive substances which could ruin them;
·
the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it
is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by
careful rinsing and drying;
·
the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with hot
water and detergent taking care to eliminate any scale;
·
in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the terminal part
of the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned
frequently and the gas outlet holes of the flame spreaders
should be checked to make sure they are free of any
obstructions;
·
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact
with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing
phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is
advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended
to dry any water drops;
•
On models with glass covers, the covers should be cleaned
with hot water; the use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be
avoided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are still
warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose and
substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended changing
it every year.
Replacing the oven lamp
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;
·
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
·
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high
temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics::
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains.
Greasing the taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If
so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease replaced.
N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician authorised
by the manufacturer.
Removing the lid
The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To
remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it upwards (see
figure)
