The

oven combines in a single appliance the advantages of
traditional convection ovens with those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is
an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily and safely choose
between 9 different cooking modes. The selection of the various functions can be
obtained by putting the programmer to the manual position or setting a
beginning/end of cooking program (see specific chapter on page 5)and successively
by turning the selector (B) and thermostat (C) knobs on the control panel.
Oven light
When the selector knob is in any position other than the
“
0
”
position, the oven light
comes on.
Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat
on the highest setting and leave the oven on for about a half an hour with nothing in
it. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected
during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the
oven during storage and until is installed.
To thaw
Select this function to thaw more delicate foods. In this mode you use only the cold
air circulation.
The thermostat light (E)
This indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required
temperature has been reached. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it
means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature.
Maxi grill
、
Important: do not the thermostat knob (C) to over 200
℃
. During grilling, keep the
oven door closed. Both of the heating elements of the grill are activated. For more
intensive grilling, select this function.
Ventilation Mode
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50
℃
and 250
℃
. The circular heating element
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 rack levels can be
used at the same time. This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those
which require an extended cooking time.
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
tenderer and a decrease in the loss of weigh for the roast. The ventilated mode is
especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a
limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance.
