How To Use Your Appliance

The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional
convection ovens with those of the more modern forced
air ventilation models.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
easily and safely choose between 7 different cooking
modes. The various features are selected by means of
the selector knob (B) and the thermostat knob (C) on the
control panel.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend

that you set the thermostat on the hightest setting and
leave the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing
in it. 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.

Convection Mode Q

Set the termostat knob (C) between B0°C and Max.
The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom
of the oven will come on.
The heat is distributed uniformiy from the top to the bottom.
The convection mode is recommended for preparing meat­based dishes featuring beef or veal which require slow
cooking with the addition of liquids. It still remains the best
cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general. When

cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-pan
or cooking rack at a time, othenwise the the heat distribution
with be uneven. Select from among the various rack
heights based on the whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top or bottom.

Pastry Mode @

Set the termostat knob (C) between 60°C and Max,

The fan will start and all of the heating elements will turn
on. This provides a delicate heating process with a
prevalence of heat from the bottom.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods ­especially pastries that need to rise because the heat
coming from the bottom helps the leavening process.

Pizza Mode

Set the termostat knob (C) between 60°C and Max.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven
due to the large amount of power used by the appliance
(2800-2900 W), which results in the production of

considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods which need high
temperatures to cook, like pizza and large roasts. Use
only one dripping-pan or rack at a time. However, if more

than one is used, they must be switched half way through
the cooking process.

Ventilated Mode @

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 60“C and Max.
Both the heating elements and the fan will come on. Since
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the
oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly 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 rack
leveis can be used at the same time, following the
instructions in the section entitled, "Cooking On More Than
One Rack".
This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those

which require an extended cooking time.

Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible
to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This
results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender
and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast.
The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish,
which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount
of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and
appearance.
The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or
red meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to
80°'100°C.Tothaw more delicate foods, setthetermostat
to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.

Grill □

Set the thermostat to “C”; Max.

The central heating element of the grill will come on. The
incandescent heating element cooks food by means of
thermal radiation directed downward. The extremely high
and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to
brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in
the juices to keep them tender.

Double Grill О

Set the thermostat to “C": Max.
Both of the grill elements are activated. This oversized
grill has a completely new design, increasing cooking
efficiency by 50%. The double grill also eliminates pockets
of unheated air in the corners of the oven.

Ventilated Double Grill Q

Set the thermostat to “C”; between 60°C and 200°C.

Both of the heating elements of the grill are activated, as
well as the fan. This combination of features increases
the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of
the heating elements through forced air circulation of the
air throughout the oven. This helps prevents foods from
burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into
the food.

Cooking Control Timer Knob (only on a few models)

Some models are equipped with a timer program to control
when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use this feature,
you must wind the "D,” knob one full turn in the counter

clockwise direction 0;Then, turn the knob in the clockwise

direction O, to set the tíme by matching up the indicator on

the control panel with the number of minutes on the knob.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.

Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the

cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control panel
with the symbol on the timer knob.

When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can
be used like a normal timer.

Timer (only on a few models)

To use the timer, it must be wound using the "D," knob. Turn

the knob almost one full turn in the clockwise direction O.
Then, turn the knob back O, and set the time by positioning

the number (minutes) on the knob dial beneath the mark on
the control panel.

Oven Light

The light comes on when the "B" knob is turned to the

setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains on

when any of the heating elements is turned on.

Handle

When the oven is on, steam escapes from the slot on the
right end of the handle. Keep hands away from this area.

Forced Air Ventilation (only on a few models)

In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven,
some models have been equipped with a cooling fan which

comes on when the "B" knob is turned to a cooking setting.
The fan remains on during the cooking process and a flow
of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the
control panel.
After you have finished cooking, it a good idea to keep the
fan on for a few minutes by setting the thermostat knob to

in order to allow the oven to cool down rapidly.

3rd Oven Glass

In order to further decrease the temperature of the oven
door and reduce energy consumption, a supplemental kit
has been made available. This kit should be installed if
the oven is used in the presence of small children. To install
the protective glass for the oven door (code 053413/
039888 or 039104 for traditional models with plate-metal
door), contact your nearest Merloni Eletrodomestici
Service Centre.

Warning

Do not place cookware on the bottom of the oven because
this will result in uneven cooking. Furthermore, the curved
surface of the bottom (which ensures increased stiffness
and resistance to deformation) does not provide a stable
support surface.

Important Warning Note!

Do not place anything, eg containers, aluminium foil etc,
on to the base of the oven as this will cause damage to
the enamel by reflecting heat back on to the surface from
the element positioned underneath the bottom of the oven
cavity.
