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 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con­trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele­ments which are:

- Lower element 1300 W

- Upper element 1000 W

- Grill element 2000 W

- Circular element 2200 W

NOTE:

Before using for the first time, it is advis­able to operate the oven at the maxi­mum temperature (thermostat knob on
position 225) 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.

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

How to use the oven

22

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI­FUNCTION 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 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.

c. by semi-forced convection

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

d. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

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

f. by ventilation

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

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:

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.

OVEN LIGHT
AND COOLING FAN

By turning the function selector knob to
this setting, the cooling fan will operate
and the oven light will illuminate in the
oven cavity (15W).
The oven light and cooling fan will oper­ate on all selected functions.

7

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recommended for:

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

etc.

8

MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE
AFTER COOKING OR SLOWLY
HEATING FOODS

The upper element and the circular ele­ment connected in series, are switched
on; also the fan is on.
The heat is diffused by forced convection
with the most part being produced by the
upper element.
The temperature must be regulated
between 50° and 140 °C with the thermo­stat knob.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking.
To slowly heat already cooked foods.

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.

The external parts of the oven
become hot during operation.

Keepchildren 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 function selector switch to

position .

b. Place the thermostat knob to position

185 °C and preheat the oven.

c. Fill the grill pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars into the grill 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 leave to
cool.

REGENERATION

Set the function selector 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 tem-

perature between 180 and 200 °C.

– that the cooking time depends on the

quantity and the type of foods.
