Howtouseyouroven
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional 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 selected by means of selector knob “B” and thermostat
“C” situated on the control panel.
Notice:
This first time you use your appliance, we recommend 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 in. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of
substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
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
certain 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 damage the enamel. Always place your cookware
(Dishes, aluminum foil, etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Defrost
The fan runs without heat to reduce the defrosting time of frozen foods. The time required to defrost the food
will depend on the room temperature, the quantity and type of food.
Conventional mode
Position of the thermostat knob “C”: between 50 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 reduced 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, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require
basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and
cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode, only use one
dripping 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
Position of the thermostat knob “C”. Between 50 and max. The heating elements, as well as the fan, will com
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 cooking 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 on Rack”. This fan assisted mode is particularly
recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times,
such as for example: lasagna, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc…
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roast. This
results in less loss of juices, meat which is 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 flavor and appearance.
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 80C. to thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60 or using only the cold air circulation feature by
setting the thermostat to 0.
“Top” oven
Position of the thermostat knob “C”: between 50 and Max. the top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Half Grill
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 cooking advice” paragraph.

Fan assisted Grill
Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 50 and 200.
The top central heating element and fan com 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, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food.
Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamp chops,
chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Pizza function
Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 50 and max.
This method of cooking uses the lower and circular element while the heat is distributed by the fan reproducing
the same conditions of traditional clay wood-fire stoves.
Circular element with fan
Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 50 and max
This method of cooking uses the circular element while the heat is distributed by the fan, resulting in a faster
and more economical operation. To allow different kinds of food to be cooked simultaneously on different
shelves, preventing the transmission of smells and tastes from one dish onto another.
Timer(D)
When you want to cook food, you have to turn the time clockwise to desired time after setting of cooking
modes and temperature, otherwise, the machine will be not energized.
But pls note the timer will count back automatically until “0” position although the power off suddenly, So, you
have to set the time again if the food is not cooked well.
。
The oven light
Set knob “B” to symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating
elements in the oven come on.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes
on automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard existing between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently. During the
cooking period, don't cut off the power.
Howtokeepyouroveninshape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
1 Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
2 The inside of the oven and stainless stell parts should preferably be cleaned after use, when it is slowly
cooled to room temperature, with damp soft cloth containing soap; then the soap should be wiped away
and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc..)
and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids(such as limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the
enamel and render stainless stell to get stained. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to
remove, use a special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet.
3 If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
4 There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact your nearest after-sales service centre. We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
5 Never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
6 Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
7 Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven door, proceed as follows:
Open the door fully.;
Lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges;
Grip the door on the two external sides; shut it slowly but not completely;
Pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by the above procedures backwards.

Practicalcookingadvice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are
only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), the “fan assisted”
mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Cooking on more than one rack
If you have to cook on more than on rack at the same time, use only the “fan assisted mode” which is
the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
1 the oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these
racks.
2 As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place
the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
3 When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
somewhere between the two temperature required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the
bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
4 Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper;
