2 - HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

(top oven)

GENERAL FEATURES

The convection oven is equipped with 3
electrical heating elements:

– 2 elements (upper and lower) for nor­mal oven cooking

– 1 grill element, on the top of the oven,
for grilling which must be done with the
oven door closed.

The input of the elements is:

– Upper element, 700 W

– Lower 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 position 250) for 60
minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the mode in
order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistances.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating elements inside the oven
cavity.

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

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

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

a. by normal convection

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

b. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element (use with the oven door
closed.).

TEMPERATURE KNOB (fig. 2.1)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set the function selector knob to the
required position and the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the control knob to line the indicator mark with the required
temperature.
The elements will turn on or off automatically to maintain the correct temperature.

Fig. 2.2

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 2.2)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for 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 250°C 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

The oven is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling
the food that is cooking.
This light is controlled by the selector knob (fig. 2.2); it remains on in all the cooking
modes.

9

USE OF THE GRILL

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.

Always grill with the oven door
closed.

Grill with the oven door closed and for
no longer than 30 minutes at any one
time.

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

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to complete the cooking by using
only the stored heat.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature knob set between 50°C and 200°C.
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.

LOWER HEATING ELEMENT

In this position only the lower element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural con­vection. The thermostat can be set between 50°C and 250°C; higher temperatures are
not available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem­perature at the bottom.

UPPER HEATING ELEMENT

In this position only the upper element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural
convection. The thermostat can be set between 50°C and 250°C; higher temperatures
are not available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem­perature at the top.

3 - HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

(bottom main oven)

GENERAL FEATURES

The multi-function oven can be pro­grammed for 7 different functions to
satisfy every cooking need.

The 7 positions are thermostatically
controlled and are obtained by a combi­nation of 4 heating elements which are:

- Lower element 1000 W

- Upper element 900 W

- Grill element 2000 W

- Circular element 1900 W

NOTE:

Before using for the first time, it is
advisable to operate the oven at the
maximum temperature (temperature
knob on position 250°C) 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 GRILLING and USE OF
THE GRILL section.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating elements inside the oven
cavity.

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

The circular heating element and fan
constantly circulate heated air over
the food in the oven for a more rapid
and even cooking process.
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 produced by the infra red
grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The 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.

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