TEMPERATURE SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)
To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required
position and the temperature selector knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector 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.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the upper electric oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection ( function selector knob setting)
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
b. by semi-forced convection ( function selector knob setting)
The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed through-
out the oven by the fan.
c. by radiation ( function selector knob setting)
The heat is radiated by the infra-red broil element.
d. by radiation and ventilation ( function selector knob setting)
The radiated heat from the infra-red broil element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.
e. by ventilation ( function selector knob setting; temperature selector
knob on OFF position)
The food is defrosted by using the fan only without heat.
GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an opera-
tional point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 4 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 3 heating elements which
are:
- Lower element 1000 W
- Upper element 650 W
- Broil element 1650 W
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
It is advised to follow these instructions:
- Furnish the interior of the oven by placing the wire rack as described at chapter
“Cleaning and maintenance”.
- Insert shelves and tray.
-Operate the oven at the maximum temperature (temperature selector knob on posi-
tion and function selector knob on position ) to eliminate possible
traces of grease from the lower and upper heating elements. The same operation
should be followed for the broil heating element (temperature selector knob on posi-
tion and function selector knob on position ).
- Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the
oven with soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.
