The Controls
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of a
convection oven with those of a fan assisted model, in a
single appliance. It is extremely versatile allowing you to
choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking modes.
The various features offered by your oven are selected by
means of function selector “B” and temperature selector “C”
situated on the control panel. Choose one of the functions
according to the food to be cooked and follow the relevant
instructions as detailed on the next page.
Notice: 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. etc.) on the shelf provided with the appliance in-
serted especially along the oven guides.
Function Selector:
Convection Mode a
Position the thermostat selector “C”: between 60°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 ingredi-
ents, e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats, stews,
goulash etc. and dishes that need to cook slowly and re-
quire basting or the addition of liquid and cooking using cov-
ered 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 uneven. Using
the different shelf position available, you can balance the
amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven.
Select from among the various shelf positions based on
whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.
Fan Assisted Mode b
Position the thermostat selector “C”: Between 60°C and Max.
The top and bottom heating elements and the fan, will come
on. The temperature is the same throughout the oven and
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire sur-
face. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at
the same time, as long as they cook at the same tempera-
ture. A maximum of 2 shelves can be used at the same
time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cook-
ing On More Than One Shelf” (next page).
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolonged cooking times, such as: lasagne, pasta bakes,
roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent
heat distribution makes it possible to use lower tempera-
tures 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 fan assisted mode is especially
suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the ad-
dition of a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining
flavour and appearance.
The fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking cakes.
This mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red
meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To
thaw more delicate foods, set the temperature to 60°C or
use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the
temperautre to 0°C.
Browning mode c
Position the temperature selector “C”: Between 60°C and
Max.
Only the top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill d
Position the temperature selector “C” at Max.
The top central heating element comes on.
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: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-
burgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Cooking Advice”
section.
Fanned Grill e
Cook food in 'fanned grill' mode with the oven door shut.
Position the temperature selector “C”: between 60°C and
200°C.
The top central heating element and the fan come on. This
combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
grill through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allow-
ing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results
are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegeta-
bles, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce,
pork chops, etc.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-
fish or tuna etc.
The oven light
To turn on the oven light, set the function selector “B” to the
8 symbol. The light will stay on when any of the electrical
heating elements in the oven come on.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is
equipped with a cooling fan which comes on when the
function selector “B” is not set to OFF.
During cooking, the fan is always on and a normal flow of
air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the
control panel.
Note. when cooking is finished, the fan stays on until the
oven cools down sufficiently.
