Programming cooking time

To run the oven, turn the programmer knob (Fig. 1) in line with

symbol

(continuous operation) or in line with the selected cooking time (up to 120 minutes).

In the second case, end of cooking is signalled by the oven switching OFF automatically.

Programming cooking temperature

Programming cooking temperature - Turn the knob of the adjustment thermostat (Fig. 2) in

line with the temperature selected for cooking.

Control thermostat indicator light

Control thermostat indicator light - The control thermostat orange indicator light goes OFF

whenever the programmed temperature is reached inside the cooking compartment. It lights up
again when the thermostat is tripped to re-establish this temperature.

"End of cooking" programmer indicator light

"End of cooking" programmer indicator light - The programmer green indicator light

indicate that the oven is operating and that cooking time is active.

Oven internal light

Oven internal light - The light is always on when the oven is operating.

Oven cooking

For cooking, before putting food in, warm up the oven to the required temperature. When

the oven reaches the temperature, put the food in and check cooking time. Switch off the oven
5 minutes before the theoretical time in order to recover stored heat.

Cooking advice

Convection cooking

Convection cooking - Heat is transferred to the foods by pre-heated air, forced to circulate by

in the cooking chamber. The heat quickly and uniformly reaches all parts of the chamber,
enabling simultaneous cooking of different types of food (providing they have the same cooking
temperature), placed on the shelves without mixing tastes and smells. Convection cooking is
particularly convenient for rapid de-freezing, and for sterilising preserves and drying mushrooms
and fruit.

grill - Grilling is effected by the thermal radiation of an

incandescent electrical heating-element. The temperature produced by the infra-red rays is very
high and one-way (downward from above), and, therefore, food surfaces are immediately
browned.

Cooking desserts

Cooking desserts - Desserts require a very high temperature (usually from 150 to 200°C) and

a pre-heated oven (about ten minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least 3/4 of
the cooking time has elapsed. Whipped dough must be difficult to detach from a spoon
because excessive fluidity would prolong cooking time to no avail.

Cooking meat

oking meat

oking meat - Meat to be cooked should weight at least 1 Kg to prevent it drying too

much. Very tender red meats to be cooked rare, which must be cooked on the outside to keep
all  their  gravy,  require  short  cooking  time  at  high  temperature  (200-250°C).  The  gravy
ingredients  must  be  placed  immediately  in  the  pan  only  if  the  cooking  temperature  is  brief,
otherwise they should be added during the last half-hour. You can check the degree of cooking
by squashing the meat with a spoon: if the meat does not yield, it is correctly cooked. For roast
beef and fillet, which must remain pink inside, cooking time must be very brief. Meats may be
placed  on  a  plate  suitable  for  oven  cooking  or  directly  on  the  grill,  under  which  you  should
place  a  tray  to  collect  the  gravy.  When  cooking  has  finished,  we  advise  you  to  wait  for  15
