DeLonghi AD679/699 Convection Oven User Manual


 
1) Check that the appliance has not suffered any damage due to transportation.
2) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface out of the reach of children (the glass door becomes very
hot while the oven is in operation).
3) Before using this appliance, move it two to four inches away from the wall or any object on the counter
top.
Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance. Do not use on surfaces
where heat may be a problem.
4) Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min.). This is normal. It is due
to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping
from the factory.
5) When a function is started, the pilot light B turns on.
1.7 - IMPORTANT TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
POSITIONING THE WIRE SHELVES:
There are two slots on the sides of the oven. Slide one or both shelves into these positions. The upper shelf
can be turned over, allowing three different levels. The recipes will suggest the best arrangement (1 to 3; see
page 7) where necessary for best results. The shelf reversed in slot 1 must be used only with the dehydrator
kit
L (optional).
ACCESSORIES AND UTENSILS
The shallow pan H is designed to permit the circulating heat to surround the food (except for the bottom sur-
face) more effectively. Use it as you would any shallow baking or roasting pan. Other utensils you own can
be used provided that an inch or so of space remains open to allow circulation of the fan-forced heat.
Casserole covers should not be used and glass ovenware should not be placed closer than two inches from
the upper heating element.
The cookies sheets
F provided must also be centered on the shelf.
When using both sheets on two wire shelves, place wire shelves
in position 1 and 3.
Use handgrip (if fitted) to bring the
wire rack out of the oven when it is
hot.
PREHEATING THE OVEN
To pre-heat the oven, press the required function (BAKE, FAN/BAKE, BROIL) and set the desired tempera-
ture (only for BAKE and FAN/BAKE). After having pressed START, if no duration has been set, the display
will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 1:00 (one hour). On reaching the set tempera-
ture, the control will emit 3 times 3 beeps. The ON light (2) will stay on.
USE ALUMINUM FOIL
Do NOT allow foil to touch sides of the oven or the heating elements. Foil can be used to cover foods or the
shallow pan (for easier clean-up) provided foil is tucked in securely around the food or the edges of the pan
or dish. DO NOT cover the broiling rack as this can cause accumulated grease to catch fire. DO NOT cover
the crumb tray (
E).
Unlike an ordinary toaster-oven, the DELONGHI features 8 functions: convection and traditional baking
and roasting, toasting, broiling, keeping food warm, defrosting frozen foods and even dehydrating
sliced fruits for nutritious snacks.
