GENERAL FEATURES

As the name implies, this oven features
a number of special characteristics from
the functional point of view.
2 different thermostatic control functions
are available to satisfy all cooking requi­rements, provided by 3 heating ele­ments:

The input of the elements is:
– Upper element, 1000 W
– Lower element, 1400 W
– Grill element, 2000 W

NOTE:

When using for the first time, you are
advised to run the oven at maximum
temperature (thermostat knob set to

225) for approximately one hour in the
mode and for another 15 minutes in

the mode in order to eliminate any
traces of grease from the electrical resi­stances.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the conventional
oven are obtained:

a. by natural convection

The heat is produced by the upper and

lower heating elements.

b. by radiation

he heat is radiated by the infrared grill
resistance.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 1.2)

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

THERMOSTAT KNOB

(Fig. 1.3)

This only sets the cooking temperature
but does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required tem­perature is reached (from 50 to 225 °C).

SWITCHING THE OVEN ON

To switch the oven on, set the function
knob (Fig. 1.2) to one of the cooking
modes and the thermostat knob (Fig. 1.3)
to the required temperature.

only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on during all cooking modes.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION
COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements
come on.
The heat is dispersed by natural convec­tion and the temperature must be set to
between 50° and 225°C via the thermo­stat knob. The oven must be preheated
before cooking.

In the position the rotisserie motor
come on for cooking with the rotisserie.

Recommended for:

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

GRILLING

The infrared electrical resistance comes on.
The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the
thermostat knob to to position 225°C for
15 minutes then to 175°C.

In the position the rotisserie motor
come on for cooking with the rotisserie.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE
OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended 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.

COOKING IN THE OVEN

Preheat the oven to the required tempe­rature (the temperature light above the
thermostat knob will go out) and place
the food inside.

Remember to use ovenproof dishes and
to alter the oven temperature as requi­red during cooking.

ROTISSERIE

The oven is equipped with a rotisserie
for cooking on the spit using the grill.

This device is made up of:
– an electrical motor mounted on the rear

part of the oven

– a stainless steel rod, equipped with a

detachable athermic grip and 2 recor­dable forks

– a rod support to be inserted into the

central rack holders of the oven.

USE OF THE ROTISSERIE

– Insert the dripping pan into the lowest

rack holders of the oven and insert the
rod support into the intermediate rack
holders.

– Put the meat to be cooked onto the

rod, being careful to secure it in the
center with the special forks.

– Insert the rod into the motor opening

and rest it onto the support of the spit
collar; then remove the grip by turning
it to the left.

The rotation direction of the rotisserie
can be either clockwise or counter­clockwise.

Fig. 1.4

USE OF THE GRILL

Switch the grill on, setting the two knobs:
– Function selector to or posi-

tion.

– Thermostat selector to position 225°C

for 15 minutes then to 175°C.

Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the rack
as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to col­lect the cooking juices.

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

The heating and cooking in electrical hot
air ovens take place by forced convec­tion.
The two elements which make this pro­cess take place are:

- Circular element 2500 W

- Grill element 2500 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 250) for 60
minutes in the position and the ther­mostat in the position 250°C, to elimina­te possible traces of grease on the hea­ting elements.

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

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 muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
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 irradiated by the infra red
grill element.

THERMOSTAT KNOB

To turn on the heating elements of the
oven, set the switch knob on the desired
program and the thermostat knob onto
the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, it is necessary
to make the knob indicator meet the cho­sen number.
The elements will turn on or off automa­tically according to the energy need
which is determined by the thermostat.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB

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

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the knob onto this setting (see
picture aside) we light the oven cavity
(15 W).
The oven remains alight while any of the
functions is on.

Fig. 2.3

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on.
To be used with the thermostat knob on
“0” because the other positions have no
effect.
The defrosting is done by simple venti­lation without heat.

RECOMMENDED USE:

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° and 250 °C with
the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

RECOMMENDED USE:

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.

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.

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.

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 at the highest
temperature.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS

The FAN consents a simultaneous hete­rogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavors together.
This is possible since the fats and vapors
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.

The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the diffe-

rent foods must be as close to as pos­sible, with a maximum difference of
20° - 25 °C.

– The introduction of the different dishes

in the oven must be done at different
times in relation to the cooking times
of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type
of cooking is obvious.

TRADITIONAL GRILLING

The infrared electrical resistance comes
on.
The heat is diffused by radiation.

thermostat knob to to position 175°C for
max 30 minutes.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE
OF THE GRILL”.
