Grill
Set the thermostat to “C”: Max.
The central heating element of the grill will come on. The
incandescent heating element cooks food by means of
thermal radiation directed downward. 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.
Double Grill
Set the thermostat to “C”: Max.
Both of the grill elements are activated. This oversized grill
has a completely new design, increasing cooking efficiency
by 50%. The double grill also eliminates pockets of unheated
air in the corners of the oven.
Ventilated Double Grill
Set the thermostat to “C”: between 60°C and 200°C.
Both of the heating elements of the grill are activated, as
well as the fan. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the
heating elements through forced air circulation of the air
throughout the oven. This helps prevents foods from burning
on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.
Timer (D)
To use the timer, it must be wound using the "D" knob. Turn
the knob almost one full turn in the clockwise direction
.
Then, turn the knob back
, and set the time by positioning
the number (minutes) on the knob dial beneath the mark on
the control panel.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the "B" knob is turned to the
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains on when
any of the heating elements is turned on.
Forced Air Ventilation
In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven, some
models have been equipped with a cooling fan which comes
on when the "B" knob is turned to a cooking setting. The fan
remains on during the cooking process and a flow of air can
be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
After you have finished cooking, it a good idea to keep the
fan on for a few minutes by setting the thermostat knob to "•"
in order to allow the oven to cool down rapidly.
3rd Oven Glass
This appliance conforms to all relevant European
Standards regarding surface temperatures, however, in
order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door
and reduce energy consumption, a supplementary kit has
been made available as an optional extra. The fitting of
this kit should be considered, if energy saving is desirable
or if young children may be present. To purchase the
supplementary kit code 053413 contact your nearest
Merloni Service Centre.
Warning
Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the
rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and 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 grate
provided with the appliance inserted especially along the
oven guides.
How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently,
keeping in mind that:
•
The self-cleaning panels (if present) and the enameled
parts should be washed with warm water - abrasive
powders and corrosive substances should be avoided;
•
The inside of the oven should be cleaned immediately
after use with warm water and soap; the soap should be
rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly;
•
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with
agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water
with a high lime content. We recommend that you rinse
these parts thoroughly and dry them well after cleaning.
It is also a good idea to dry any water spills;
•
Never line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil
because the buildup of heat will not only impede the
cooking process, but could also damage the enamel.
Replacing the Lamp in the Oven
•
Cutoff the supply of power to the oven by turning off the
omni-polar switch connecting it to the mains, or by
removing the plug if it is accessible;
•
Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder;
•
Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-tem-
perature lamp (300
°
C) with the following characteristics:
- Voltage: 230/240 V
- Wattage: 25W
- Socket: E14
•
Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to
the power supply.
