How To Use Your Appliance

The＂Maxioven＂oven combines in a single appliance the advantages of traditional convection
ovens with those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is an extremely versatile appliance that
allows you to easily and safely choose between 9 different cooking modes. The selection of the
various functions can be obtained by putting the programmer to the manual position or setting a
beginning/end of cooking program (see specific chapter on page 5)and successively by turning the
selector (B) and thermostat (C) knobs on the control panel.

You can choose all the functions:

No Circle heating With Circle heatin g

Oven light
When the selector knob is in any position other than the “0”position, the oven light comes on.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the
highest setting and leave the oven on for about a half an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the
oven door an let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until is install ed.

Convection Mode
Set the thermostat knob (c) between 50℃ and 250℃.

The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven will come on. The heat is
distributed uniformly from top to the bottom. The convection mode is recommended for preparing
meat-based dishes featuring of liquids. It still remains the best cooking mode for dry pastries and
fruit in general. When cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-pan or cooking rack at
a time, otherwise the heat distribution with be uneven. Select from among the various rack heights
based on the whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.

Ventilated convection Mode
Set the thermostat knob (c) between 50℃ and 250℃.

The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven are activated, as well as the
fan.

Based on the convection model, This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the

thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced air circulation of the air throughout the
oven. This helps prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into
the food.

Lower heating element
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. By turning the knob to this position. The

oven light and lower heating element come on.
This position is recommended for finishing the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already
superficially well-cooked but still soft inside.

Upper heating element
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. By turning the knob to this position. The

oven light and upper heating element come on. This position is recommend for finishing off the
cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already inside well-cooked but still soft superficially.

Upper heating element grill
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. The grill components and upper heating

element come on.

Grill
Important: do not set thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door

closed. Food is cooked in the grill by the downward thermal rays produced by an incandescent
electric heating element. The high, direct grill temperature immediately browns meat, thus
stopping juice dispersion and keeping meat more tender. The grill is particularly recommended for
cooking dishes requiring a high superficial temperature.

Ventilated Grill
Important: do not set thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door

closed.

All grill components and fan work. In this setting, the central heating elements of the top

work. This combination of features compulsory in the air in the oven for the entire cycle of
increased non-direct heating elements heat radiation effect. This will allow the heat to penetrate
the internal food, and avoid food surface Charred.

Ventilated the central heating elements
Important: do not set thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door

closed. the central heating el ement s of the top ar e activ ate d as well as the fan. This co mbina tion o f
features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced

surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.

Maxigrill
Important: do not the thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door

closed. Both of the heating elements of the grill are activated. For more intensive grilling,select
this function.

Important: do not the thermostat knob (C) to over 175℃. During grilling, keep the oven door

components. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of
the heating elements through forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.

Gentle pastry oven
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. The lower heating element and the fan

come on. This setting is ideal when cooking delicate foods, especially pastries that need to raise,
because the heat rising from the bottom facilitates leavening. Please note that with this feature it
takes a rather long time to reach higher temperatures in the oven. Therefore, if high temperatures
are needed, we recommend that you use the ＂Conventional＂setting.

Ventilation Mode
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50℃ and 250℃. The circular heating element and the fan

will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at
the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2
rack levels can be used at the same time. This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those
which require an extended cooking time.
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when
cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the
loss of weigh for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be
prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and
appearance. The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or red meat, fish and bread by
setting the temperature to 80℃-100℃

To thaw
Select this function to thaw more delicate foods. In this mode you use only the cold air circulati on .

The thermostat light (E)
This indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required temperature has
been reached. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat is
working properly to maintain the oven temperature.

Multi-Skewer Rotisserie

The Maxiovens are equipped with a removable multiple skewer rotisserie positioned parallel to
the back of the oven fig. A). Slide the meat to be cooked into the spit lengthwise, keeping it in
place with the adjustable forks. With kebabs, slide the meat to be cooked into the skewers
provided and place them on the appropriate holders.
Slide the holders, ＂Ａ＂ and ＂Ｂ＂in Fig. A, into the appropriate holes in the dripping-pan,
rest the groove end of the rod on the guide ＂Ｄ＂and slide the rack onto the bottom guide (Fig.
B). Then slid the rod into the hole fo r the motor sha ft and place the gro oved end of the ro d on the

guide ＂C＂

Start the motor by turning the knob to the grill se tting
