						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.
