GENERAL FEATURES
The oven has special operating features.
Five different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a self
cleaning function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost
function and an oven light function.
These functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the
temperature set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.
The oven has the following heating elements:
•
Lower heating element (double)
550 + 1750 W
•
Upper heating element
1200 W
•
Grill heating element
2850 W
•
Circular heating element
2450 W
NOTES ON OVEN OPERATION
A cooling fan starts automatically when selecting a cooking function, defrost or self
cleaning mode.
It stops when turning the selector knob to
OFF
position or
LIGHT
and the inside oven
cavity temperature drops below 150°C (302°F).
The purpose of this fan is to reduce the temperature inside/outside the appliance.
Note: The first time the oven is used or after a black-out the programmer must be
started by pressing keys 2 and 3 simultaneously. See the section on the use of the
electronic programmer.
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
•
Put in the shelf and the tray.
•
Switch the oven on empty (on a cooking function – NOT SELF CLEANING) at
maximum power for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from
the components.
•
When the oven has cooled down and unplugging the range, clean the inside of
the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it perfectly.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the multifunction self cleaning oven takes place as follows:
• by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
•
by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
• by forced convection
The heat produced by the circular element is distributed throughout the oven by
the fan.
• by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red broil element.
• by radiation and fan
The radiated heat from the infra red broil element is distributed throughout the
oven by the fan.
• by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.
THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION
• by self cleaning
The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity
removing all residue of grease.
THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION
