How to use the oven
22
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.
6
THERMOSTAT KNOB (fig. 2.1)
To turn on the heating elements of the
oven, set function selector knob to the
required position and the thermostat
knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the thermostat control knob indicator mark to the
required temperature.
The elements will turn on or off automatically which is determined by the thermostat.
The operation of the heating elements is
signalled by a light placed on the control
panel.
Fig. 2.2Fig. 2.1
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 2.2)
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven to one of the following functions:
OVEN LIGHT
By turning the function selector knob to
this setting, the oven light will illuminate
in the oven cavity (15W).
The oven light will operate on all selected functions.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan is on.
To be used with the thermostat knob in
the off “●” position because the other
positions have 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.
7
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.
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
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.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched
on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the
thermostat knob must be regulated
between 50°C and 200°C.
For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE
GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling action for cooking with the
broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”,
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.
HOT AIR COOKING
The circular element and the fan are on.
The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum
position with the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
Recommended for:
For foods that must be well done on the
outside and tender or rare on the inside,
i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole
fish, etc.
8
The external parts of the oven
become hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT
THE SAME TIME
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 tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
USE OF THE GRILL
Set the switch to position and the
thermostat knob between 50°C and
200°C max.
Leave to warm up for approximately 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.
Grilling with the oven door closed and
do not for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

TIMER - 120’ CUT-OFF (Fig. 3.1)
The function of the timer runs the oven
for a preset time.
1) Starting up.
After setting the function selector and
thermostat to the required mode and
temperature, rotate the timer knob
clockwise until you reach the required
cooking time (max 120 minutes).
Once this time has elapsed, the timer
will return to the “ ” position and the
oven will automatically switch off.
2) Manual position.
If the cooking time is longer than two
hours or if you wish to use the oven
manually, switching it off as required,
the knob must be turned to position
.
