GENERAL FEATURES
As the name implies, this oven features a number of functions.
4 different thermostatic control functions are available to satisfy all cooking
requirements.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the 4 functions available are obtained as follows:
a. by natural convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
The heat produced by the lower and upper heating elements is distributed in the
oven by the fan.
Several dishes can be cooked at the same time.
c. by radiation and Fan
The heat radiated by the infrared grill is distributed in the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infrared grill.

COOKING HINTS
Remember to keep children away from the appliance when you use the grill or oven, since
these parts become very hot.
COOKING EXAMPLES
Preheat the oven to the required temperature (the temperature light above the
thermostat knob will go out) and place the food inside.
Remember to use ovenproof dishes and to alter the oven temperature during cooking
if necessary.
STERILIZATION
For sterilization of food for preserving in jars follow the instructions below (jars must be
full and hermetically sealed):
a. Set the switch to
b. Set the thermostat knob to 175°C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the drip pan with hot water.
d. Arrange the jars in the drip pan ensuring that they do not touch each other and
after wetting the lids with water, close the oven and set the thermostat knob to
130°C.
Once the sterilization process has begun, i.e. when you begin to see bubbles in the
jars, switch the oven off and leave to cool.
WARMING BREAD
Set the function knob to and the thermostat to 150°C.
The bread will regain its fragrance if moistened with a few drops of water and placed in
the oven for approximately 10 minutes.

8
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME
With the function selector in position , the ventilated oven allows you to cook
different types of food at the same time. Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together
without the smells and flavours mixing.
The following precautions are required:
✓ The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference of
20° - 25°C between the different foods.
✓ Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the
cooking time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a
considerable saving on time and energy.
GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN
With the function selector in position , the food is grilled on all sides as the hot air
completely envelopes it.
Set the thermostat to 175°C and simply place the food under the grill.
Close the door and leave the oven to run with the thermostat set as required to between
100 and 175°C until grilling is complete.
Add a few curls of butter just before the end to give a golden gratiné effect.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
USE OF THE GRILL
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob from 50° to 200 °C.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and
fats.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

COOKING WITH A “FAN” OVEN
The heat comes from a circular element situated at the rear of the oven, the fan blows
air over the element and circulates hot air around the oven (figure 17).
Turn the function selector control knob to position and set the required
temperature with the thermostat control knob.
The set temperature has been reached when the temperature indicator light goes off.
Several different meals may be cooked simultaneously on various shelves, as the
heated air circulates evenly throughout the oven (figure 18).
The hot air system cooks more quickly than conventional static system, therefore the
temperature should be set 15°C - 20°C below those recommended in your recipe
books.
The oven door should only be opened briefly while cooking so any heat losses are
quickly recovered when the door is closed.
Cooking advice

GRILLING
Turn the function selector control knob to position .
Pre-heat grill for about 5 minutes, the infra red grill element in the top of the oven will
become bright red in colour. Place the grill pan with the food brushed with a little oil,
in the most convenient position (usually in the highest position, close to the infra-red
grill).
Use the detachable handles to move the grill pan in and out of the oven.
Ensure that the detachable handles are removed so that the oven door can be closed
during grilling.
Check frequently as the temperature is very high and the food might easily burn.
The infra-red grill can also be used for browning meals after ordinary cooking.
We recomend that you use oven gloves when using the grill pan handle or when
removing the grill pan, or any of the oven shelves, as they become very hot when in
use.
GRILLING NOTE
Always grill with the oven door closed.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
To avoid possible smoking during grilling, it is advisable to add a little water to the grill
pan.
The water can be topped up during grilling as evaporation takes place.
DO NOT grill food containing fats without using the grid.
DO NOT cover the grill pan grid with aluminium foil, as this can stop fats draining
away and could possibly cause the fat to catch fire.

Cleaning and Maintenance
GENERAL
After use allow the oven to cool and whilst the oven is still “warm” it should be wiped
with a damp cloth using warm soapy water. With regular cleaning the oven will
remain in good condition.
It is advisable to disconnect the electrical supply to the oven before cleaning is
undertaken.
ENAMEL PARTS
In order to maintain the condition of the enamel parts, clean and wipe frequently with
hot soapy water. Any obstinate marks can be removed using a paste or cream cleaner
or a well moistened soap impregnated cleaning pad. Rub gently so as not to damage
the surface.
Never use abrasive powders.
Never permit vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water or tomato juice to remain in contact with
the enamel parts as they may stain or discolour the surface.
If any cleaners such as a spray or a stick are used on enamel they must have the VEDC
(Vitreous Enamel Development Council) seal of approval and the manufacturers
instructions must be followed.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
CAUTION
The STAINLESS STEEL surfaces used in this oven are protected with a Special Lacquer to
reduce finger-print marks.
To avoid damaging this lacquer, do not clean the stainless steel with abrasive cleaners
or abrasive cloths or scouring pads.
ONLY SOAP/WARM WATER MUST BE USED TO CLEAN THE STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance
and make it unsafe.
