Top Multifunction Oven

General Features

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular
features from an operational point of view. In fact, it is possible to
insert 7 different programmes to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4
heating elements which are:
– Bottom element 1300 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W

Note:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven for 30 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 chapters
TRADITIONAL GRILLING and USE OF THE GRILL.

Operating Principles

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION 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 muffle, which sends it through the circular heating element

and then sends it back through the muffle. 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 irradiated 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.

natural convection and the temperature must be set to between 50 °C and
250 °C with the thermostat knob.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Recommended for:

Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example roasts, spare pork ribs,
meringues etc.

Traditional Grilling

The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.

Use with the oven door closed. The temperature can be regulated via the thermostat knob to between
50 °C and 225 °C.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.

Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

Defrosting Frozen Foods

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ” - other positions have no effect.
The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.

Recommended for:

Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.

Hot Air Cooking

The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and the temperature
can be regulated to between 50 °C and 225 °C via the thermostat knob. The oven does not require
preheating.

Recommended for:

Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example lasagne, lamb, roast beef,
whole fish etc.

9

Ventilated Grill Cooking

The infrared grill element and the fan come on. The heat is dispersed mainly
by radiation and the fan then distributes it all over the oven.

Use with the oven door closed. The temperature can be regulated via the thermostat knob to between
50 °C and 200 °C.

The oven must be preheated for approximately 5 minutes. For cooking hints, see the chapter “GRILLING
AND AU GRATIN.

Recommended for:

Grilling where quick browning on the outside is required to keep the juices in.
For example: veal steaks, chops, hamburgers etc.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

Maintaining Temperature After Cooking or Slowly Heating Foods

The upper heating element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is dispersed by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 140 °C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.

Convection Cooking with Ventilation

The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan.
The heat coming from above and below is dispersed by convection with ventilation.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 225 °C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

Voluminous dishes and large quantities which require the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for
example rolled roasts, turkey, roast 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 185 °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 135 °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
at the highest temperature.

Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods

With the function selector in position and 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 cooking time required

for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable 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.
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.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

11

Roasting

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

Use of the Grill

– Preheat the oven for about 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.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at anyone time.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

The external parts of the oven become hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

Operating Principles

Heating and cooking in the FULL ELECTRONIC 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 Semi-Forced Convection From The Bottom

The heat produced by the lower heating element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

c. by Radiation

The heat is radiated by the infrared grill element.

d. by Double Radiation

The heat is radiated by the infrared grill and the top heating elements.

e. by Radiation and Ventilation

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

f. by Semi-Forced Convection From The Bottom And Back

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

g. by Forced Convection

The air inside the oven is warmed by a circular heating element at the back of the oven. Hot air is then

moved around the oven by a fan near the heating element. Food can be placed inside a cold oven
because it heats up quickly. The heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven allowing for different
dishes to be cooked simultaneously.
