This article explains how to use the BORETTI.KOOKPLATEN by Boretti.
Operating the
Programmable LCD
Clock
None of the oven functions will work before you have activated the clock on your Boretti. You will recognize this by a full blinking display. This might occur before first use, or following a power disturbance. Functions for ventilated gas ovens are different from multifunctional ovens. The pro- grammable clock functions only work on ovens 60 and 80 cm wide. If you have a range cooker with 2 ovens, the clock will normally only work for the left-hand oven. When programming the oven, if the A blinks and an audio signal is heard, an er- ror has occurred. Choose the manual function to override previous settings. Setting the Correct Time Adjust the digital clock by pressing on the buttons and and using the + and – button at the same time. Set the correct time in this way. Manual Function You can activate the manual function by simulta- neously pressing buttons and . The let- ter A will disappear, and a symbol showing a pan will appear. Any programs you set earlier will be canceled by this procedure. Adjusting the Audio Signal You can set the audio signal by pressing the button until you hear a signal you like. Your range cooker will remember the setting chosen and will use the tone you selected from that moment on. The Timer Select the timer function by pressing the button and using the + and – buttons to determine the desired cook time. While the time counts down, the clock symbol will remain lit up. When the cook time has ended, an audio signal will sound. When using this function, your oven must be switched off manually. If you want the oven to switch off automatically, you must use the pre- programmed baking function set to the desired cook time. Pre-Programmed Baking
Time This function allows you to use the oven for a certain period of time, after which the oven will switch off. Press the button and use the + and - buttons to set the desired cook time. The A symbol will appear in the display. Press the but- ton if you want to see at what time the oven will switch off. After the cook time has ended, the oven will switch off automatically and the audio signal will sound. The A will blink while the audio signal sounds. By pressing buttons and at the same time, you will cancel the preset pro- gram, and you can now use the manual function for the oven. Operating the Programmable Analog Clock If the small display (Fig. 2d) shows a “O”, the child-proof lock has been activated for your oven, and therefore it cannot be used. If the hand sym- bol shows on the display (Fib 2d), the oven is set to manual. You can activate the manual function by turning the button (Fig. 2e) to the right, wit- hout pressing on it. Setting the Correct Time Press on the button and turn it to the right until the current time is shown. The time is shown by the hands shown in Figure 2a and 2b. Manual Function You can select the manual function by turning the button (Fig 2e) to the right until the hand is dis- played (Fig. 2d). Using this function, you can set the desired temperature and oven function, and use the oven immediately. Timer with Automatic Countdown It is easy to set the desired cook time by turning the button (Fig. 2e) to the right, without pressing on it, until you see the desired cook time in the small display (Fig. 2d). Cook time can be set to a maximum of 180 minutes. Next, choose the temperature and the oven func- tion. After the selected cook time has ended, an audio signal will sound. The oven will switch off. You can switch off the audio signal by setting the button (2e) to manual. Pre-Programmed Baking

Instructions for Oven Use Descriptions of Various Oven Functions Caution: Before using the gas oven, we refer you to the chapter “Using a Ventilated Gas Oven" In order to make a selection from the following oven functions, turn the oven knob to the left un- til the function you want shows at the top. Then choose the temperature. Depending on the op- erating clock setting, the oven will start to pre- heat. See Chapter “Quick-Start” on page 86 for instructions about accelerated preheating. Thaw Function The thaw function will switch on the fan in the back of the oven so that an air stream will start flowing which will slightly speed up the thawing of your dish. This function cannot be compared with, for example, a microwave oven. You must also make sure that the oven is clean, because raw, unprocessed foods are being handled. Convection Heating The heat is supplied directly by the heating element mounted in the back of the oven around the fan. This ad- justment is very suitable for baking or roasting a complete meal. It is possible to cook on several levels because of the circulating heat. Often con- vection heating is the most popular function of the oven. Caution: In many cases, this function will also re- duce the cook time of a dish. Intensive baking A rapid, intensive form of baking, par- ticularly well suited for preparing vari- ous oven dishes. The upper and lower heating elements, together with the convection fan, provide the best baking results and even dis- tribution of heat. Circulation Grilling The heat generated by the grilling ele- ment will be evenly distributed through- out the oven by the fan in the back of the oven. This is suitable for grilling such foods as pork chops, sausages, skewers, etc. Caution: The oven door should be closed during grilling. Grilling Conventional grilling with the grilling el- ement only. This is suitable for grilling such foods as chicken and roasts. It is also often used for cooking au gratin, or preparing deserts with caramelized sugar. Caution: The oven door should be closed during grilling. Top Heat This should be used to slowly brown the top of a dish, but can also be used to cook a dish au gratin more slowly than when using the grill. Bottom Heat This function is very suitable for dishes that need to rise. It can be used in combination with the convection func- tion. In other words, if the product has risen, it can continue to bake with the convection function. This function is also commonly used to prepare pizzas. Top and Bottom Heat A function that works like a convention- al oven, but includes a top heating ele- ment. It can be used for all dishes that could also be prepared in a convection oven. Operating the Programmable LCD Clock of a Gas Oven Setting the Correct Time Press on the button once. Then immediately press on the + and – to adjust the minutes. Press on the button again, and hold until the hour starts to blink. You can now use the + and - but- tons to set the hour. Setting the Timer Press on the + and buttons to set the desired cook time. A symbol will show in the display, indicating that the timer has been set. The display only indicates time left until the alarm sounds, current time will not be shown during this pe- riod. After the set time has passed, an alarm will sound that you can switch off by pressing on the button. Adjusting the Audio Signal You can adjust the audio signal by pressing the button until you hear a tone you like. Your range cooker will remember the chosen setting and will use the tone you selected from then on. NOTE: It may occur that your Boretti with gas oven has five buttons. In this case two buttons will have no function.
