How to use your oven

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of tra-

ditional convection ovens with those of the more modern

fan assisted models in a single appliance.

It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to

choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking

modes. The various features offered by the oven are se-

lected by means of selector knob “B” and thermostat “C”

situated on the control panel.

Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-

mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting

and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing

in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door

and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur-

ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances

used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-

stalled.

Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom

shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from

dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling

food or when using the rotisserie (only available on cer-

tain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the

bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of

the oven when it is in operation because this could dam-

age the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, alu-

minium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appli-

ance inserted especially along the oven guides

Convection Mode a

Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 60°C and Max.

On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come

on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has

been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and re-

duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still

unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of

several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style

cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,

etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal

or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, gou-

lash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and

require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re-

mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit

and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-

ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-

ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat

distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights

available, you can balance the amount of heat between

the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among

the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs

more or less heat from the top.

Fan Assisted Mode b

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 60°C and Max.

The heating elements, as well as 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 cook-

ing temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks

can be used at the same time, following the instructions in

the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”.

This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for

dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring con-

siderably prolonged cooking times, such as for example:

lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc…

Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possi-

ble to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This

results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender

and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The fan

assisted 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 appear-

ance.

Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking

leavened cakes.

Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly

white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to

80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to

60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting

the thermostat to 0°C.

“Top” oven c

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 60°C and Max.

The top heating element comes on.

This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cook-

ing.

Grill d

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Max

The top central heating element comes on.

The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill

makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts

while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is

also highly recommended for dishes that require a high

temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,

filets, hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cook-

ing Advice” paragraph.

Fan Assisted Grill e

Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 60°C and 200°C.

The top central heating element and the fan come on. This

combination of features increases the effectiveness of the

unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements

through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, al-

lowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent

results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and

vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy

sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.

This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-

fish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

Timer (D) (only available on certain models)

To use the timer, the buzzer “D” must be wound up by

turning the knob one full turn clockwise 4; then turn it

back 5 to the desired time so that the number of

minutes on the knob matches the reference mark on the

panel.
