Fan Oven

General Features

The heating and cooking in electrical hot air ovens take place by forced convection.
The two elements which make this process take place are:
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W

Note:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature for 60 minutes in the
position 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 fan oven are obtained in the following
ways:

a. 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.

b. by Radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

c. by Ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without

heat.

How to Use the Oven

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the hot heating element
inside the oven cavity.

Thermostat Knob (Fig. 2)

This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the
oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from
50 °C to 225 °C).
The thermostat indicator light will illuminate when the oven is
switched on and turns off when the oven reaches the correct
temperature. The light will cycle on and off during cooking in line
with the oven temperature.

Function Selector Knob (Fig. 3)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following
functions.

Fig. 2

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
