Minute minder

This is a buzzer timer situated on the control panel and is
suitable for timing up to a max. of 60 minutes.

Turn the knob with the symbol until the pointer is aligned
with the required time. When the set time has elapsed, a

buzzer sounds (it does not turn the oven off).
It is advisable to turn the knob to 60 and then back to the time
required, even if this is less than 60 minutes.
See pages 12 for the cooking times and temperatures required
for different foods.

The oven offers seven different combinations of the electric
heating elements; so the most suitable combination may
therefore be chosen for each dish, with convincing results.

By turning the selector knob marked with the symbol ,
different cooking modes are obtained, as shown in the table

to the side.
After having selected the heat source, place the thermostat
knob marked with the symbol onto the temperature

required.
For traditional cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in conventional

mode use mode (hot above + below).
only put the food to be cooked into the oven when the latter

has reached the selected temperature and preferably use
one shelf only for cooking.
T o provide heat only to the bottom or the top part of the dishes,

turn the selector to position (hot below) or position
(hot above) or position (hot below + fan).
With mode (hot above and below + fan), traditional

cooking (hot above and below) is combined with the fan,
Grill operation: a high heat output is used for grilling, so that
the surface of the food is immediately browned; this is
particularly recommended for meats which should remain
tender on the inside. To grill food, turn the selector knob to

one of these positions: (grill), (grill + fan).

Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system that is operated
automatically by setting the selector knob to one of the seven
functions.
Important: to obtain the perfect cooling of the aesthetic parts,
the device continues to cool for a few minutes even after the
oven is completely switched off.
The above-mentioned device is controlled by a thermostat,
therefore the cooling can take place in one or more cycles.
In any case, we recommend that you leave the oven door
open after use.

When cooking food using the grill, the oven door must
remain shut. Moreover, set the thermostat knob no higher
than 200°C (even in the minigrill mode).

See page 4 of this booklet for the cooking times and
temperatures required for different foods.
