For this reason the room must be well ventilated, keeping the natural ventilation openings free and switching on the mechanical aeration system (suction hood or electric fan, see “Ventilation” and “Location and Aeration” paragraphs). If the cooker is used for a long time additional aeration may be necessary, for instance, opening a window, or a more effective aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical system if there is one. Lighting the burners Automatic electric ignition of burners Press and turn the knob corresponding to the burner you wish to use counterclockwise to the “Full on“ position. Automatically the ignition spark shoots. Once lit, keep the knob pressed for about 3 seconds. Matches can be used to light the burners in a blackout. Optimum use of the burners To get the maximum yield with the minimum consumption of gas it is handy to keep the following points in mind: • Once the burner has been lit, adjust the flame according to your needs. • Use an appropriately sized pan for each burner (see the table below and fig. 2). • When the content of the pan start to boil, turn the knob down to “Reduced rate position” (small flame). • Always put a lid on the pan. fig. 1 fig. 2 3.2 Oven: general notes on safety • Always grip the centre of the oven door when opening. Do not practice excessive pressures on the door when it is open. • Do not worry if condensation forms on the door and on the internal walls of the oven during cooking. This does not compromise its efficiency. • When opening the oven door, be very careful of scalding vapours. • Use oven gloves to insert or remove containers from the oven. • Use containers that will resist the temperatures indicated on the thermostat knob. 3. OPERATION
ENGLISH 9 • For good results during cooking, we strongly recommend not to cover the base of the oven or the grill with aluminium foil or other materials. • When grilling always put a little water in the grill pan. • The water prevents the grease from burning and from giving off bad smells and smoke. Add more water during grilling to compensate for evaporation. After using the appliance ensure that all the controls are in the off position.

This combination is suitable for rapid cooking and allows for the use of more plates positioned on the different levels of the oven. Defrosting + warm up by hot air Turn the selector knob to the symbol and adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature, then place the food inside the oven. Selecting this function will activate the bottom heating unit and its heat is distributed by the fan. This function is particularly recommended to defrost and warm up ready-made meals.

If pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow warning light turns off before placing foods inside oven. This function activates the rear heating unit and the fan distributes the heat produced. This combination allows for a fast and even cooking of several different foods placed on the diverse levels of the oven. Convetional grill cooking Turn the selector knob to the symbol and adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed directly on food surface. Apart from grilling, this function is ideal to add a golden roast to your recipes or to toast bread slices. The grill function automatically activates the spit. When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “USEFUL COOKING TIPS“ section. Fan grill cooking Turn the selector knob to the symbol and adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed by the fan. This procedure mitigates the direct heat on food surface and uses milder temperatures. It is therefore recommended for an even
10 www.aeg.com golden and crispy finish touch, ideal for whole fish and poultry. When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “USEFUL COOKING TIPS“ section. How to use the conventional oven: Right oven cavity Traditional cooking Turn the commutator/thermostat knob on the temperature required. If pre- heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow warning light turns off before placing foods inside the oven. Both the bottom and top heating elements are turned on, distributing heat to the food from the top and bottom. This type of baking is ideal for all types of food (meat, fish, bread, pizza, cakes..). Grill cooking Turn the commutator/thermostat knob on the symbol. The top heating element is turned on and it distributes heat directly onto the food. Besides grilling, it can be used to obtain a golden finish onto cooked foods or to toast your bread slices. The grill function automatically activates the eventual spit (if present). When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath the spit to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “COOKING TIPS “ section. 3.3 Useful cooking tips Cakes and bread: • Heat the oven for at least 15 minutes before you start cooking bread or cakes. • Do not open the door during baking because the cold air would stop the yeast from rising. • When the cake is cooked turn the oven off and leave it in for about 10 minutes. • Do not use the enamelled oven tray or drip pan, supplied with the oven, to cook cakes in. • How do you know when the cake is cooked? About 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, put a cake tester or skewer in the highest part of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked. • And if the cake sinks? The next time use less liquids or lower the temperature 10°C. • If the cake is too dry: Make some tiny holes with a toothpick and pour some drops of fruit juice or spirits on it. The next time, increase the temperature 10°C and set a shorter cooking time. • If the cake is too dark on top: the next time put the cake on a lower shelf, cook it at a lower temperature and longer. • If the top of the cake is burnt: cut off the burnt layer and cover with sugar or decorate it with cream, jam, confectioner’s cream, etc.. • If the cake is too dark underneath: the next time place it on a higher shelf and cook it at a lower temperature. • If the cake or br ead is cooked nicely outside but is still uncooked inside: the next time use less liquids, cook at a lower temperature and longer. • If the cake will not come out of the tin: slide a knife around the edges, place a damp cloth over the cake and turn the tin upside down. The next time grease the tin well and sprinkle it with flour or bread crumbs. • If the biscuits will not come away fr om the baking tray: put the tray back in the oven for a while and lift the biscuits up before they cool. The next time use a sheet of baking parchment to prevent this happening again. Meat: • If, when cooking meat, the time needed is more than 40 minutes, turn the oven off 10 minutes before the end of cooking time to exploit the residual heat (energy saving). • Your roast will be juicier if cooked in a closed pan; it will be crispier if cooked without a lid. • Normally white meat, poultry and fish need medium temperatures (less than 200°C). • To cook “rare” red meats, high temperatures (over 200°C) and short cooking times are needed. • For a tasty r oast, lard and spice the meat. • If your roast is tough: the next time leave the meat to ripen longer.
