6. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS ON THE FRONT PANEL

All the oven controls are grouped together on the front panel. The symbols used are described in the table below.

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

Cooking temperature is selected by turning the switch clockwise to the desired setting, between 50° and 250°C. When this light comes on, the oven is heating up. When this light goes out, the preset heating temperature has been reached. When the light flashes, the temperature inside the oven is steady.

TIMER KNOB

Allows manual cooking or minute counter to be selected; the oven switches off automatically at the end of cooking. If no selection of a cooking time is made, the timer knob must be positioned

on the symbol turning it anticlockwise. To set the cooking time, turn the knob clockwise until the “60” position and

then set the desired cooking time. The numbers from 1 to 60 correspond to minutes. Adjustment is progressive and intermediate positions between the indicated figures can be used.

The manual function only works on the traditional functions (serigraphed in black on the front panel), while for microwave and combined functions (serigraphed in orange) a cooking time has to be set

The audible signal at the end of the preset time switches off the oven whatever function has been set.

7. USE OF THE OVEN

Before using the oven, make sure you have selected either a cooking time

or manual functioning .

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste. Do not use the microwave or combined functions for this first preheating.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of Directive 89/109/EEC, dated 21/12/88 and of Decree Law 108, dated 25/01/92.

To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. When the door is opened oven ventilation is automatically switched off; it then resumes as soon as the door is closed.

Instructions for the user

7.2 Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on when the oven is being turned on. Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

7.3 Microwave cooking

Microwave cooking is possible at different power levels that can be selected with the MICORWAVE POWER REGULATION KNOB. Below is a list of the most suitable operations for each power level selected. MIN-20%: softening dairy products and cream spreads, keeping foods hot; 30-50%: thawing foods, cooking sauces, cooking tender meat in combination with the normal functions; 60-80%: cooking pasta or rice, cooking chicken, vegetables or large fish in combination with the normal functions; 90-100%: heating up pre-cooked meals, cooking fresh and frozen vegetables, combined with the normal functions for cooking turkey and fatty chicken, cooking cakes and desserts;

To activate the microwave you must set a cooking time, select a power setting, select a function (among those serigraphed in orange on the

control panel) and press the key on the control panel.
