HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN
The 'Multi-function' oven combines the advantages of
convection ovens with those of fan assisted models in a
single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that
allows you to choose easily between 7 different cooking
modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means
of the function selector 'G' situated on the control panel:
Interior light
By turning the function selecto to the interior light is
switched on and allows you to observe the food in the oven
without having to open the door.
Warning: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc.) on the shelves provided with the appliance inserted
along the oven shelf guides.
The Cooking Modes:
The grill
Position the temperature control “H” between 40°C and Max.
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible
to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking
in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly
recommended for dishes that require a high tempera-
ture on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
filets, hamburgers etc...
The grill is controlled by a thermostatic device that regulates
its operation.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be
kept shut.
Convection
Position the temperature control “H” between 40°C and Max.
The top and bottom heating elements are used. In this mode,
the coolest part of the oven is the centre. The convection
oven is best for cooking dishes made up of several ingre-
dients, e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats,
stews, goulash etc.) and dishes that need to cook slowly
and require basting or the addition of liquid and cooking
using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When
cooking in convection mode, only use one baking tray or
shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be un-
even. Using the different shelf position available, you can
balance the amount of heat between the top and the bot-
tom of the oven. Select from among the various shelf
positions based on whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top.
Baking
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and
Max.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation
of certain tartlets on more than one shelf at the same time.
Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury
biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of
vegetables au gratin, etc…..
“Fast cooking” Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
All the heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for
example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-
made” dishes.
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking shelf only (the second
from the bottom), please see the “Cooking Chart”.
Multi-cooking Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
All the heating elements and the fan, will come on. Since the
heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the
air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface.
With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the
same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures
are the same.
A maximum of 2 shelves can be used at the same time,
following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On
More Than One Shelf”.
This Multi-cooking mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring consid-
erably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,
pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc…
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to
use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in
less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease
in the loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is
especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with
the addition of a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining
their flavour and appearance.
The Multi-cooking mode is also perfect for baking leavened
cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white
or red meat and bread by setting the temperature control to
80 °C. Defrosting - this mode can be used to thaw more delicate foods,
set the temperature control to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation
feature by setting the temperature control to 0°C.
Pizza Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan,
will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to
the large amounts of power used by the appliance (2800 W),
which results in the production of considerable heat coming
mostly from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures
to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one baking
tray or shelf at a time. However, if more than one is used,
these must be switched halfway through the cooking process.
Refer to the 'Cooking Advice' section.
Fan grilling
The fan grilling is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly,
as the distribution of heat makes it possible - not only to
brown the surface but also to cook the bottom part.
This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end
of the cooking process.
