Traditional Convection Cooking

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat is dispersed by 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 and the thermostat knob to position 225 °C for max 15 minutes, then to
position 175 °C.

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

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting 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.

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.

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.

Lower Main Fan Oven

General Features

The heating and cooking in electrical hot air ovens take place by forced
convection.

The element which make this process take place is:

– Circular element 1900 W

Note:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on the maximum position) for 60 minutes in the position

to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating element.

Operating Principles

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

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

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.

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 fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and the temperature
can be regulated to between 50 °C and 250 °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.

Lower Oven Cooking Advice

Cooking with Forced Air

Fan cooking is more economical and quicker than cooking in a conventional oven. The moving hot air
surrounds the food and penetrates it more quickly than in a conventional oven.

The oven can be filled with different dishes all requiring the same cooking temperature. Subtract 10
minutes per hour for every dish requiring a cooking time of more than 1 hour and reduce the heat by 10­20°C; the hotter the oven, the more the temperature can be reduced.

Generally, there is no need to pre-heat the oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for about 5 minutes to ensure
the best results; use the indicator light as a guide, it goes out when the set temperature is reached.

Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based dishes and softening ice cream - a microwave oven is much too
strong for these dishes. Cooking yeast based dishes is also speeded up this way. If the oven door has been
opened, the oven quickly regains its temperature once the door is closed.

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
at the highest temperature.

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.

Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods

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 cooking time required

for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable saving on time and energy.
