How to use your appliance

The

7 Cuochi

oven combines the adv antages of traditional
convection ov ens with those of the more modern fan assisted
models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allo ws you to choose
easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The
various features off ered by the ov en are selected by means
of selector knob “B” situated on the control panel.

Notice: The first time you use y our appliance, we recommend
that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave
the oven on f or at least half an hour with nothing in it, with the
oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room
air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is
due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the
oven during storage and until it is installed.

Setting the digital clock

The time can only be set on the clock when knob “B” is in
position 0.
After the appliance has been connected to the power supply ,
or when the power has gone out, the clock display will
automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink. 0.00.
T urn knob C to set the hours and then press OK to confirm.
Turn knob C again to set the minutes and then press OK
to confirm the time definitively . Any changes can be made
by pressing button 2 and f ollowing the abo v e procedure .

Timer Feature

The timer does not control the starting or stopping of the
oven, it merely sounds a b uzzer when the time is up and
can be interrupted at any time just by pressing a button.
To set the timer, press button 3, adjust it using knob C and

then press the OK button to confirm. The n icon will remind
you the timer is on.

Once the countdown is over , a buzzer will sound, and will stop
doing so after 1 minute or if you press any b utton whatsoever .

The oven light

It can be turned on at any time with the oven turned off,
simply by pressing button 1.

Cooling ventilation

In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the
oven, a cooling fan generates a flow of air that can be
heard exiting between the ov en door and the control panel.

Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
Note: In “Fast cooking” mode , the fan comes on automatically

only when the oven is hot.
Reminder: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system
which detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the
latter by messages such as “Fn m” that come up on the
display (n and m = single digit numbers). In these cases, you
need to call for technical assistance as the ov en is f aulty.

How T o Use Y our Oven

T urn knob B to select the desired cooking mode. The oven
will immediately start the pre-heating phase, during which

the icon m will flash on the displa y , and the cooking tem­perature associated with the mode selected will be

displayed: should this value not be the one you desire,
you can modify it simply by turning knob C.

Once pre-heating is complete, an acoustic signal will sound
and the icon m will come on permanently, and at this

stage you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre­heated oven.
Note: the F AST COOKING and GRILL modes do not inclu-
de a pre-heating phase. Please remember that you can
always do the follo wing when cooking is under wa y:

• change the cooking mode by turning knob “B”;

• change the temperature by turning knob “C”;

• programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see
paragraph entitled “Prog ramming the cooking mode”).

• stop it at any time by setting knob “B” bac k to 0.

Note: For safety reasons, a cooking time of 2 hours is set
for each cooking mode by default. Should this time fail to
be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once
this time is up.

Notice: Place the ov en tra y provided on the bottom shelf of
the oven to pre v ent an y sauce and/or grease from dripping
onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when
using the turnspit (only available on certain models). F or all
other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and ne ver
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel coating.
Always place your cookware (dishes , aluminium foil, etc. etc.)
on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.

Convection Oven a

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced
energy consumption. The convection ov en is still unequalled
when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several
ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, local stockfish recipes,
tender veal with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when
preparing meat-based dishes as well: braised meats, ste w,
goulash, game, ham etc. which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains
the best system for baking cakes and pastries as well as
fruit and cooking casseroles. When cooking in convection
mode, use only one rack, as the temperature would not be
distributed evenly on se v eral r ac ks . Using the different rac k
heights available, you can balance the amount of heat
between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from
among the various rack heights based on whether the dish
needs more or less heat from the top.

Multi-Cooking Mode b

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The heating elements and the fan come on alternately . Since
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven,
the air cooks and browns food unif ormly over its entire surface.
With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the
same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures
are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the
same time, following the instructions in the section entitled:
“Cooking On More Than One Rack”.
This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta
