How to use the oven

GENERAL FEATURES

The heating and cooking in electrical hot
air ovens take place by forced convec-
tion.

The two elements which make this pro-
cess take place are:

- Grill element

2000 W

- Circular element 2200 W
- Fan motor

25 W

- Oven lamp

15 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on the maximum posi-
tion) for 60 minutes in the position

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 chapters GRILLING
and USE OF THE GRILL.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

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

a. by forced convection

A fan sucks 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 sucked back
again by the fan to repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food
in the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking. It is possible to cook
several dishes simultaneously.

b. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element.

c. 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.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

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

THERMOSTAT KNOB

(fig. 2.2)

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

(fig. 2.1)

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

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the function selector knob to this setting, the oven light will illuminate in the
oven cavity (15W).
The oven light will operate on all selected functions.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on.
To be used with the thermostat knob in the off “

●

” position because the other positions

have no effect.
The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:
To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:

a. Set the switch to position

b. Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven.

c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the

door and set the thermostat knob to position 125 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.

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 must be regulated between
50°C and 200°C maximum.
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.
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.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on.
The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated
between 50°C and the maximum position with the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:
For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e.
lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

The external parts of the oven become hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME

With the function selector in position

, the ventilated oven allows you to cook different

types of food at the same time.
Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing.
The only precautions required are the following:

– The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference

of 20° - 25°C between the different foods.

– Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cooking

time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable
saving on time and energy.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C.

– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

USE OF THE GRILL

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob between 50°C and 200°C maximum.

Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack on the first level from the top.
The dripping pan should be placed on the second level from the top to catch the cooking
juices and fats. Grilling with the oven door closed.

Grilling with the oven door closed and do not for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.

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

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position

and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.

Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven
for about 10 minutes.

Cleaning and maintenance

STAINLESS STEEL AND ALUMINIUM
PARTS AND SILK-SCREEN PRINTED
SURFACES

Clean using an appropriate neutral
product. Always dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: these parts must be
cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching
and abrasion. You are advised to use a
soft cloth and neutral soap.

ENAMELLED PARTS

All the enamelled parts must be cleaned
with a sponge and soapy water only or
other non-abrasive products.

Dry preferably with a chamois leather.

Do not use a steam cleaner because
the moisture can get into the
appliance thus make it unsafe.

GENERAL ADVICE

Important:
Before any operation of cleaning and
maintenance disconnect the appli-
ance from the electrical supply.

It is advisable to clean when the appli-
ance is cold and especially for cleaning
the enamelled parts.

Avoid leaving alcaline or acidic sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on
the surfaces.
Avoid using cleaning products with a
chlorine or acidic base.
The oven must always be cleaned after
every use, using suitable products and
keeping in mind that its operation for 30
minutes on the highest temperature
eliminates most grime reducing it to
ashes.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

Switch the oven off at the mains.
Unscrew and replace the bulb with
another one resistant to high tempera-
tures (300°C), voltage 230 V (50 Hz), 15
W, E14.

WARNING
When correctly installed, your prod-
uct meets all safety requirements laid
down for this type of product catego-
ry. However special care should be
taken around the rear or the under-
neath of the appliance as these

the oven.

Attention

The appliance gets very hot, mainly
around the cooking areas. It is very
important that children are not left
alone in the kitchen when you are
cooking.

INSIDE OF OVEN
