Cet article explique comment utiliser le VPI94 de Boretti.
Fonctionnement de l'horloge à LCD et programmation 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.
2. Programmed Baking Function with Preset Start and End Time You can use this function to set both the start and end time for your oven. Press on the button and use the + and – buttons to set the cook time for your dish. An A will appear in the display. Next, press on the button and use the + and - buttons to set the end time. Then adjust the oven temperature and select the desired oven function. The oven will now switch on and off at your selected times. When the oven switches off, an audio signal will sound automatically. By pres- sing on the buttons and at the same time, you will cancel the preset program and you can now use the manual function for the oven. Caution: Some dishes are perishable and cannot remain in an uncooled oven for an extended period of time. Caution: Take preheating time into account when determining the cook time in using the automatic baking function with preset start and end times. 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. 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
1. Programmed Baking Function with Preset Start
Time In order to adjust the oven in such a way that it will switch on without switching off automatically after cook time has ended, you must follow these steps: Turn the button (Fig 2e) to the right until “O” ар- pears in the display (Fig. 2d). Carefully pull the button towards you, and turn it to the right until the hand (Fig. 2c) indicates your desired start time. Let go of the button, and now turn it to the right until the hand appears in the display. Now select the correct baking function and tem- perature. Caution: When using this function, the oven must be switched off manually! Caution: Some dishes are perishable and cannot remain in an uncooled oven for an extended period of time. Caution: Take preheating time into account when determining the cook time for the automatic ba- king function with preset start and end times.
2. Programmed Baking Function with Preset Start and End Times In order to adjust the oven in such a way that you can determine the end time before starting, fol- low these steps: Turn the button (Fig 2e) to the right until “O” ap- pears in the display (Fig. 2d). Carefully pull the button towards you, and turn it to the right until the hand (Fig. 2c) indicates your desired start time. Next, turn the button until the desired cook time appears in the display (Fig. 2d). Maximum adjustable cook time is 180 minutes. Now set the oven to desired oven function and adjust the temperature. Your oven will switch on at the time selected, and continue for the period set by you. After the cook time has ended, the oven will switch off automatically and an audio signal will sound. You can switch off the signal by turning the button to the right until the hand appears in the display. 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. Pizza setting The pizza setting is well suited for dough-based dishes such as pizzas and quiches. The lower heating element used in conjunction with the convection system provide the best baking results. Lighting The light in the oven will switch on as soon as you select any particular oven function. If you prefer to prepare a dish without using the oven light, turn the knob 1 posi- tion up from your selection and then turn it back to the correct selection. Caution: Ovens 60 and 80 cm wide are always multifunctional unless you ordered a ventilated gas model. Caution: Ovens 30 and 40 cm wide are always conventional. These ovens offer grilling, top heat, bottom heat and top and bottom heat. Quick-Start Function The Quick-Start function is ideal for anyone who wants to preheat their 60 to 80 cm wide electric oven more quickly. You use the Quick-Start func- tion by setting the oven control knob to “thaw” and adjusting the temperature to the desired setting. The oven will now use all available heat sources to reach the desired temperature. As soon as the oven has reached the correct temperature, the orange light will switch off. Then select the desired oven function. Caution: The Quick-Start function can be used for selected end temperatures between 180 and 250°C. Any advantages at lower end tempera- tures are negligible. Never use the Quick-Start function for more than 30 minutes at a time. Grill Oven Some range cookers are fitted with a separate grill oven. This grill oven actually works exactly like a regular one, but includes additional func- tions. The grill oven is standard fitted with tel- escopic gliders which simplify putting the dish in and removing it. In order to catch juices or food spills, we recommend that the black drip pan in- cluded with your oven always be used. Caution: The oven door should be closed when us- ing the grill oven. Using the Rotisserie Place the item on the rotisserie. Use two meat clamps to make sure the meat is secure, and the weight is distributed evenly across the rotis- serie. This will prevent the rotisserie motor from overheating. Place the rotisserie in its holder, and insert the end into the rotisserie motor opening. Select the grilling function, and set the desired cook time. Always place a drip pan beneath the dish. Casing Cooling System Every Boretti range cooker is fitted with a so- called casing cooling system. This ensures that the outside of the range cooker remains at an acceptable temperature. A sensor in the range cooker ensures that if the temperature becomes too high, the forced cooling switches on automati- cally. It may continue to cool even after the oven has been switched off. In part because of this system, it is possible to place a Boretti range cooker between kitchen cabinets. Dismantling the Oven Door It is easy to remove the door from your Boretti range cooker. Please follow these instructions: Open the oven door completely. Move the fitted Pizza Stone The Pizza Stone is made from select heat-resi- stant clay, which was baked at a temperature of 1320°C. The stone is resistant to damage from temperature changes, as well as being scratch and dust free. The special design with air chan- nels keeps the weight down, and decreases pre- heating time. Heat is distributed evenly through- out the clay, so that the entire surface has the same temperature and your pizza will have the same temperature and color all over. Place the pizza stone in the oven during prehe- ating. As soon as the oven reaches its preset temperature, place the dish on the pizza stone. Use parchment paper so that the dish can easily be placed into, and removed from the oven. In ad- dition, your pizza stone will not become soiled, so that you do not have to clean it. The best way to clean it is by removing food spills with a spatula or knife. Place the stone back into the oven, and heat up the stone. Then clean it with a scrubbing pad, and rinse with warm water. Caution: Do not use cleaning agents. The pizza stone may discolor over time. This has no influence on the performance of the pizza stone. Gas Oven Fan As soon as you switch on your gas oven or elec- tric grill, you can switch on the fan in the back wall separately by turning the grill control knob (Fig. 9) past position 12. By switching the grill knob to the off position, the fan will be switched off. The advantage of switching on the fan is that there will be improved heat distribution throughout the oven, so that it will be easier to prepare multiple dishes in the ventilated gas oven. Please take into account that this is not the same as the convec- tion function in the electric oven, and a substan- tial difference in temperature will remain inside the oven. The closer to the heat source (i.e. the gas burner or grill), the hotter it will be. Caution: the grill will not work if the gas burner is on. It is therefore not possible to use the gas burner and grill at the same time. Caution: When you use the gas burner together with the fan, you must switch both control knobs to the off position when the dish is done. If you only switch off the oven burner, the grill element will become active. The Cooktop General Information about Gas Burners Always use pots and pans with a level and smooth bottom, which have the correct diameters for op- timal results. See the following chart for correct diameters: Burner Semi-rapid burner Rapid burner Wok burner Fish burner
*Applies to the bottom of the pan. Diameter 14 tot 20 cm 20 tot 24 cm 22 tot 28 cm * Ovale pan Boretti gas burners consist of three parts, na- mely the base (Fig. 10a), the brass flame distri- butor ring (Fig 10b) and the cap (Fig. 10c). There are two holes in the base, one of which is for the spark ignition, and the other for the thermo- couple. The thermocouple safety system ensures that the gas flow is cut off as soon as the flame is extinguished by, for example, a draft. The ther- mocouple must be heated thoroughly before you can let go of the knob for the burner to remain on. If you release the knob too quickly, the burner will switch off because the thermocouple has been insufficiently heated. After pressing the knob, you will hear the spark ignition click. It is now active for all burners. The speed with which the flame ignites depends on the position chosen. You can experiment until you have found the quickest way to light your stove. Once the flame is burning, keep the knob suppres- sed for at least 5 seconds in order to activate the thermocouple safety system. If you release the knob too quickly, the flame will extinguish. Caution: It is very important for the brass flame distributor ring (Fig. 10d) to be positioned cor- rectly on the base (Fig. 10a). You must verify that the ridge on the brass flame distributor ring (Fig. 10e) is placed exactly in the groove (Fig. 10b) of the aluminum base. In addition, the burner must always be placed level to the surface in order to prevent discoloration. Not all of the burners have the same capacity, and therefore result in different cook times. The least powerful burner (semi-rapid burner) is nor- mally used for sauces, soups and braised dishes. Based on the power of this burner, we recommend using a Boretti simmer plate. Caution: When using the back burners, make sure the pots do not touch the wall or back surface, because the pots will become very hot and the wall might not be heat proof. Make sure there is always at least 2 cm of space between the wall and the pots. Caution: Make sure that the handles and grips do not protrude, so that you will not bump into them accidentally and the pans fall from the cook- ing area. Wok Burner Boretti wok burners have 3 rings. Together these provide balanced power of 4.5 kW max. This po- wer is more than enough to be able to stir fry in the proper manner. When lighting this burner, the outside ring will ignite first, after which the two inner rings will ignite. This is normal. Please take a shorter cook time into account because of the increased capacity of this burner. Fry-top The Fry Top is a multifunctional griddle on which an enormous range of dishes can be prepared. A DVD has been made about the Fry-Top so that you can discover exactly how it works, what the possibilities are, and how to clean it. This DVD can be watched as streaming video on the web- site, but will also be included with your range. If the DVD has inadvertently not been included, you can request a copy from Boretti. Ignite the Fry-Top burner and select a low set- ting. After 8 - 10 minutes the Fry-Top is ready for use. Next, evenly spread a little oil on the grid- dle (never use butter on the Fry-Top) after which you can put the food directly onto the griddle. Fry- ing will be slower on the Fry-Top, yet the dish will not start to simmer. Because the food is seared quickly, it loses less moisture. Cleaning the Fry Top When the food is ready, remove it from the Fry- Top and pour a little water onto the Fry-Top be- fore leaving to enjoy your food. The water will soak any food residues, which you can then scrape off with the spatula included. It will make clean-up much easier. Beware of steam that will rise from the Fry-Top it is hot! When the griddle has cooled down almost completely, spray on a lit- tle Fry-Top cleaner and scrub with the steel wool pad included. Finally, use a moist cloth and your Fry-Top will be like new. If necessary, use a soft scrubbing pad for the small nooks and crannies. Coupe de Feu The Coupe de Feu is made of solid cast iron, and allows one or more pots or pans to be placed di- rectly onto the cooking surface. The plate is heat- ed by a sub-surface gas burner. The plate will generate heat which is not too intense beneath the pan, and will distribute it evenly across the cooking surface. This makes it possible to cook a dish slowly. This is especially useful for dishes like sauces and braised dishes. Light the burner approximately 5 minutes before use, so that the cast iron plate will have plenty of time to heat up. The same amount of time is needed for the plate to cool down. The middle of the Coupe de Feu is hottest, and the edges will be cooler. If you require a more intense heat, you can also choose to remove one or more rings. Without constantly needing to adjust the knob, this allows you to de- termine the amount of heat generated. Caution: It is normal that the Coupe de Feu will show a little surface rust after time. We recom- mend regularly rubbing the Coupe de Feu with a little oil to prevent this. The rings, or any other cast iron parts, should never be cleaned in the dishwasher. Adjusting the Gas Burners You can easily adjust or trim the gas burners yourself. You can do this if, for example, if the range has been converted to another type of gas, or you would like stronger or weaker gas flow. Ignite one burner at a time, and switch to the lowest position. Pull out the knob of the burner in question, and place a small screwdriver in the opening just above the pin of the knob (Fig. 11). Right above the pin, you will see a small brass screw which you will use to adjust the gas flow. Turn to the left for a higher flame, and to right for a lower one. Cast Iron Grill Plate The cast iron grill plate is ideal for roasting meat. Position the grill plate on one of the burner grates which is suitable for your type of grill plate, and switch on the burner. After about 10 minutes the grill plate will be thoroughly heated and ready for use. It is best to clean the grill plate with some suds and hot water. Cleaning the Cooktop Aluminium Burner Base The aluminium bases (Fig. 10a) will lose their original sheen after use. This is normal. The aluminium burner bases can be cleaned with a scrubbing pad. Brass Flame Distributor Ring The brass flame distributors (Fig. 10d) will nor- mally discolor slightly after use. The flame dis- tributor rings can be cleaned with a scrubbing pad. Burner Grates and Burner The cast iron burner grates and caps can also discolor slightly after use. It is best to clean them with a mild detergent and brush. After cleaning, make sure to dry the parts very carefully to pre- vent rusting. The cast iron parts can be treated with oil occasionally. Drip Tray The range cooker drip tray must never be scrubbed. It is best to clean it with a mild deter- gent and cloth. Avoid excessive water use near the white spark ignition of the gas burners. Caution: never clean individual range cooker parts in the dishwasher. Automatic cooking: All the cooking zones are equipped with an auto- matic cooking function. This system enables the cook to reach a selected temperature as quickly as possible. To activate this function, set the con- trol knob 'off' and then turn it anti-clockwise until [A] appears on the display. Now turn the knob to the desired setting. This selected setting and the A will flash alternately on the display to indicate that the automatic cooking function is activated. Once the desired temperature is reached, this function switches off and the cooking zone will continue to maintain the temperature you have selected. Warming setting: Between settings 0 and 1 is the warming setting [SSS]. With this setting the content of the pan is kept warm at a temperature of approximately 70 degrees. This setting is handy when you need to briefly step away from the cooker. By turning the knob back to a normal setting you can continue to cook.
