after which the food can be placed in the appliance. This should be done promptly, as
the internal temperature tends to drop spontaneously once the heating has stopped.
Use: Cooking involves arranging the food inside containers suitable for high
temperatures and placing them on the grille inside the cooking chamber, which may
have been previously heated while empty (preheating, see previous paragraph). Use
the upper knob (thermostat) to set the cooking temperature from 90°C to 230°C,
turning the index to the desired value. Refer to the following chapters for possible
suggestions. To start cooking, select the cooking time by means of the timer (lower
knob), which allows you to start cooking for up to 30 minutes by turning the index to
the corresponding value on the scale.
During cooking: The timer rotates from right to left, indicating the remaining cooking
time in real time. In the meantime, it is possible to view the food through the door
window and, if necessary, open the door to do any stirring, turning or moving of the
food being cooked, taking great care with hot surfaces and parts. It is advisable that
you open the door for as little time as possible, as the release of heat causes a sharp
drop in the internal temperature, which significantly extends the cooking time and
results in a considerable waste of electricity. Since the continuous switching on of the
heating elements could cause the internal temperature to rise well above the value
set on the thermostat, it is not uncommon for them to switch off and on again
alternately in order to keep the heat in the cooking chamber constant. A slight reddish
glow could be perceptible from the outside.
At the end of cooking: When the time previously set on the timer has elapsed, the
timer bell indicates that the heating elements have switched off. The food can now be
removed, opening the door and taking the utmost care with the grille and extremely
hot surfaces. Use an oven glove or specially designed potholders, then leave the door
open for a few minutes to let the appliance cool down. It is a good idea to allow the
container with the food that has just been removed to rest for a few minutes on a
trivet or other non-heat sensitive surface, as the liquids contained in the food are
usually above boiling point and could cause burns if swallowed immediately.
TIPS FOR OPTIMAL USE
Although best performance is achieved by perfecting your technique through
experience, a few tricks can make it easier to use the appliance right from the start.
Always keep in mind that:
Preheating is usually always recommended: the times given in recipes almost
always refer to preheated cooking chambers
The best results are obtained, where possible, by arranging the food so that
it occupies as much surface as possible of the cooking container.
