How To Use Your Appliance

The＂Maxi oven＂oven combines in a single appliance the advantages of traditional convection ovens with

those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily

and safely choose between 9 different cooking modes. The selection of the various functions can be obtained

by putting the programmer to the manual position or setting a beginning/end of cooking program (see

specific chapter on page 5)and successively by turning the selector (B) and thermostat (C) knobs on the

control panel.

You can select from 9 functions:

Oven light

When the selector knob is in any position other than the “0”position, the oven light comes on.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the highest setting

and leave the oven on for about a half an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door an 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’s installed.

Defrost

Select this function to thaw more delicate foods. In this mode you use only the cold air circulation.

The thermostat light (E).This indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required

temperature has been reached. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat

is working properly to maintain the oven temperature.

Upper heating element

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. By turning the knob to this position. The oven light

and upper heating element comes on. This position is recommend for finishing off the cooking of food (in

baking trays) which is already inside well-cooked but still soft superficially.

Fan Mode

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. The circular heating element 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 levels can be used at the same time.

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 weigh 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 flavour 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℃

Lower heating element

Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. By turning the knob to this position. The oven light

and lower heating element come on.

This position is recommended for finishing the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already

superficially well-cooked but still soft inside.

Convection Mode

Set the thermostat knob (c) between 50℃ and 250℃.

The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven will come on. The heat is distributed

uniformly from top to the bottom. The convection mode is recommended for preparing meat-based dishes

featuring 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, otherwise 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.

Fan convection Mode

Set the thermostat knob (c) between 50℃ and 250℃.

The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven are activated, as well as the fan. Based

on the convection model, This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the 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.

Fan with Grill (centre element)

Important: do not set the thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. the

central heating elements of the top are activated as well as the fan. This combination of features increases the

effectiveness of the 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.

Fan with Grill (both elements)

Important: do not set the thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. Both

of the heating elements of the grill are activated, as well as the fan. This combination of features increases

the effectiveness of the 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.
