Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
If you need more heat from the bottom or from the top, turn
the oven function control knob to (top heating element
only) or (bottom heating element only).
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. The fan behind the back panel circulates
heated air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom. If you are cooking only one dish
in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give
you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position
(symbol :
l
). The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.
Cooking with the multifunction oven
Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;
b) switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking (
);
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
30 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely
normal
, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
shelf
and the
dripping pan.

To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 3).
When the oven is first installed
Carefully supervise cookings with
fats or oil
, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish
and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom with some water
in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on
the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.
