CHOICE OF BURNER

Burners Pan diameter

Auxiliary

*

12 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 24 cm
Rapid 24 - 26 cm
Triple ring 26 - 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm

The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.

For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230 mm diameter.

Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are
offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.

When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

FAN ASSISTED OVEN

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this oven presents particular features from an operational point of
view. In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different programs to satisfy every cooking need,
plus a defrost function using the fan only.

Please note: This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan which you will hear
operating whenever the oven or grill are in use. This fan is to reduce the external
temperature of the appliance and cool the internal components.

24

THERMOSTAT KNOB

This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the oven on. Rotate
clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from 50 to 250°C).

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the fan assisted 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 semi-convection

The heat produced by the top and bottom heating elements is distributed through­out the oven by the fan.

c. by radiant heat

The food is grilled by the infra red grill element.

d. by radiant heat and ventilation

The food is grilled by the grill element is distributed throughout the oven.

e. by ventilation

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

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.

Figure 26

25

FAN ASSISTED BAKE

The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan come on - the heat from
the element being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50 °C and 250 °C using the thermostat.

Idea for:

Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.

DEFROST

With the thermostat knob on “0” only the oven fan is on.

The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.

Ideal 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.

TRADITIONAL BAKE

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by
natural convection. The temperature range must be set between 50 °C and
250 °C using the thermostat.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Ideal for:

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

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on.
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB

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

26

FAN GRILL

Both the grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven. The oven door should be kept closed

.
The temperature can be set between 50 °C and 200 °C maximum.
The oven should be preheated for 5 minutes before cooking. For further cooking hints
see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN”.

Ideal for:

Quick sealing in of food juices for example such as hamburger, chicken pieces, chops.

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.

GRILLING

The infrared grill element at the top of the oven 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”.

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

27

GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN

As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with
the food on rack in the oven. The knob should be switched to position .
The thermostat should be set to 200 °C and the oven pre-heated.
The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.

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

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.
Check your recycle book for full instructions.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS

The oven set on position can cook several different foods together. Foods as
diverse as fish and cakes can be cooked together without the cross transference of
flavours. This is because the fats and cooking smell that would normally be
deposited on the different foods are oxidised and are not absorbed by the foods.
The cooking temperature of the foods, however must be within 20 - 25°C of each
other. The food with the longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and
the other foods are added as necessary according to their cooking times.

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.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

28

N.B. For fan ovens reduce the temperature
by 10-20 °C. For any dish taking one hour
or over to cook, reduce the cooking time by
10 minutes per hour.

A fan oven creates more even temperature
throughout, therefore the shelf positions are
not as critical.

Electronic clock (fig. 28)

The programmer is equipped with an
electronic clock with lighted numbers
which indicate hours and minutes.
Upon immediate connection of the
oven or after a blackout, three zeroes
will flash on the programmer panel.
To set the hour it is necessary to push
the button and then the

or

button until you have set the exact
hour (fig. 28).
Alternatively, simultaneously push the

two buttons and at the same

time push the

or button.

Note: Setting the clock deletes any pro­gramme.

Electronic timer

The timer programme consists only of a
buzzer which may be set for a maxi­mum period of 23 hours and 59 min­utes.
If the AUTO is flashing push the
button.
To set the time, push the button
and the

or until you obtain the

desired time (fig. 30).
Having finished the setting, the normal
time will appear on the panel and the

symbol will appear.
The countdown will start immediately
and may be seen at any moment on
the panel by simply pressing the button

.

At the end of the time, the symbol
will be switched off and an intermittent
buzzer will go off; this can be stopped
by pressing any one of the buttons.

choose from three variations.

Normal cooking without
the use of the
programmer

To manually use the oven, that is, without
the aid of the programmer, it is necessary
to cancel the flashing AUTO by pushing
the button (AUTO will be switched off
and the symbol will go on - Fig.29).

Attention: If the AUTO is not flashing

Automatic oven
cooking

To cook food automatically in the oven,
it is necessary to:

1.Set the length of the cooking time

2.Set the end of the cooking time

3.Set the temperature and the oven
cooking programme.

These operations are done in the fol­lowing way:

1. Set the length of the cooking time by
pushing the button and the
button to

advance, or to go back
if you have passed the desired time
(fig. 31). The AUTO and the sym-
bol will be on.

2.Set the end of the cooking time by
pressing the button (the cooking
time already added to the clock time
will appear), and the button (fig.

32); if you pass the desired time you
may get back by pushing the but­ton.
After this setting, the symbol will
go off. If after this setting, the AUTO
flashes on the panel and a buzzer
goes off, it means there was an error
in the programming.
In this case, modify the end of cook­ing time or the cooking time itself by
following the above instructions
again.

3.Set the temperature and the cooking
programme by using the switch and
thermostat knobs of the oven (see
specific chapters).

Now the oven is programmed and
everything will work automatically, that
is the oven will turn on at the right
moment to end the cooking at the
established time.
During cooking, the symbol remains
on.
By pushing the button you can see
the time that remains until the end of
cooking.

The cooking programme may be can­celled in any moment by pushing .

At the end of the cooking time the
oven will turn off automatically, the
symbol will turn off, AUTO will flash

and a buzzer will sound, which can be
turned off by pushing any of the but­tons.

Turn the switch and thermostat knobs
to zero and put the programmer onto
“manual” by pressing the button.

Attention: A power cut makes the
clock go to zero and cancels the set
programmes.
After a power cut three zeroes will flash
on the panel.
