GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.

The 4 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 3 heating elements which are:

- Lower element	1300	W
- Upper element	1000	W
- Grill element	2000	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 and 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.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

GREASE FILTER (some models only)

–A special screen is provided at the back of the oven to catch grease particles, mainly when meat is being roasted (see page 24).

–When baking pastry etc. this filter should be removed.

–Always clean the filter after cooking as any solid residues on it might adversely affect the oven performance.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

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

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

c. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra-red grill element.

d. by radiation and ventilation

The radiated heat from the infra-red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

e. by ventilation

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

Fig. 2.1A

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (fig. 2.1A - 2.1B)

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. 2.1B

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.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION

COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are switched on.

The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob.

It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.

Fig. 2.2

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

With the thermostat knob in the off position only the oven fan is on.

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.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH

VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.

The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection. The temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ex: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven.

The temperature must be regulated between 50°C and 200°C max with the thermostat knob.

It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

For correct use see chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN.

Always grill with the oven door closed.

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.

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

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 max.

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.

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.

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.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

–that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C.

–that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

Grilling may be done by selecting grill+fan setting with the function selector knob, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.

Set the thermostat knob between 50°C and 200°C max and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the grill pan.

Close the door and let the oven operate until grilling is done.

Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.

Grilling with the oven door closed. 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.

USE OF THE GRILL

Set the function selector knob 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 grill pan as close to the grill as possible.

Always grill with the oven door closed.

Grilling with the oven door closed and not for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

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.
