How to use the 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
(thermostat knob on the maximum position) 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 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, 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.
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.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
