4 - Multifunction Top & Bottom Ovens

Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

GENERAL FEATURES

The multifunction oven can be programmed for 7 different functions to satisfy every cooking need. The 7 positions are thermostatically controlled and are obtained by a combination of 4 heating elements which are:

- Lower element 1300 W

- Upper element 1000 W

- Grill element 2000 W

- Circular element 2200 W

NOTE:

Before using for the first time, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature for 60 minutes in the position and to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements. Repeat the operation for another 15

minutes with the grill element on as explained in the GRILLING and USE OF THE GRILL section.

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by forced convection

A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven, which circulates it through the circular heating element and then forced back into the oven by the fan. Before the hot air is sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The radiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (figs. 4.1 - 4.4)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required position and the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. The elements will turn on or off automatically which is determined by the thermostat. The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed on the control panel.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.2 - 4.3)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven to one of the following functions:

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the function selector knob to this setting, the oven light will illuminate in the oven cavity. The oven light will operate on all selected functions.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob must be regulated between 50°C and 225°C maximum. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with the broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob in the off “●” position because the other positions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour. The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be regulated between 50°C and 225°C maximum with the thermostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes. For correct use see chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN”.

Always grill with the oven door closed.

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE COOKING OR SLOWLY HEATING FOODS

The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most part being produced by the upper element. The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on. The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection. The temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ex: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

Cooking Advice

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a. Set the switch to position b. Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven. c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water. d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and

the door and set the thermostat knob to position 125 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150° C. Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember: – that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C. – that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME

With the function selector in position , the ventilated oven allows you to cook different types of food at the same time.

Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing. The only precautions required are the following:

– The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference

of 20° - 25°C between the different foods.

– Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cook-

ing time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a consider-

able saving on time and energy.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

Grilling may be done by selecting grill+fan setting with the function selector knob, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked. Set the thermostat knob between 50°C and 225°C maximum and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the grid. Close the door and let the oven operate until grilling is done. Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.

Grilling with the oven door closed. It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

USE OF THE GRILL

Set the function selector knob to position and the thermostat knob between 50°C and 225°C maximum.

Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.

The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Always grill with the oven door closed.

Grilling with the oven door closed and not for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature. Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.
