GENERAL FEATURES

This oven features 2 different thermostatic control functions to satisfy all cooking requirements, provided by 3 heating elements:

• Upper element 700 W

• Lower element 1000 W

• Grill element 2000 W

NOTE:

When using for the rst time, you are advised

to operate the oven at maximum temperature (thermostat knob on the maximum position) 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 elements.

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

 The heat is radiated by the infrared

grill element.

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 recuperate the stored heat.

HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL TOP OVEN

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

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

Smells and fumes produced during this burn off process are not a cause of alarm. Adequate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the appliance is installed, e.g. by opening a window.

TEMPERATURE KNOB (g. 2.1)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set rst the function selector to the required

setting and then the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. To set the temperature, line up the temperature knob indicator with the required temperature. The elements will turn ON or OFF automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat.

The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed on the control panel.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (g. 2.2)

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

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on. The light remains on whilst any of the cooking modes are selected.

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.

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 to between 50°C and 225°C .

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible. The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Use with the oven door closed. Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION BOTTOM MAIN OVEN

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

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:

• Bottom element 1300 W

• Top element 1000 W

• Grill element 2000 W

• Circular element 2200 W

NOTE:

Upon rst use, it is advisable to operate the

oven for 30 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.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

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 draws 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 drawn back

again by the fan to repeat the 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.
