USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN WITH NATURAL CONVECTION
When using the oven for the first time, leave it on for maximum 30 minutes at a temperature of 250°, to eliminate
smell from the internal seals
.
During normal use, select the cooking temperature using the thermostat knob, then wait for the orange light to go
off before putting foods in.
The oven has 5 grooves at different heights (Figure 23) for fitting racks or trays. To prevent getting the oven too
dirty, meat should be cooked on a tray or rack placed in the tray.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN WITH FAN
When using the oven for the first time, leave it on for maximum 30 minutes at a temperature of 250°, to eliminate
smell from the internal seals.
Before cooking foods, make sure the oven reaches the selected temperature and the orange light is off. This type
of oven has a round heating element inside, where the fan for forced air circulation in a horizontal direction is
positioned. Based on this operating principle, a fan oven can be used for different kinds of cooking at the same
time, without changing the taste of the food. A few models are fitted at the rear with a removable metal filter that
retains grease when cooking roasts. This filter should be cleaned regularly with soapy water to remove the grease
and rinsed thoroughly. To remove the metal filter, apply gentle pressure upwards on the tab, indicated by the
arrow. The circulation of hot air ensures that heat is evenly distributed. It is not necessary to preheat the oven,
however in the case of delicate baking, the oven should be preheated before putting in baking trays. The
convection fan cooking system changes to some extent concepts about traditional cooking. Meat does not have to
be turned during cooking and a spit does not have to be used for rotisserie roasting. The meat can be simply put
on the rack.
