TEMPERATURE SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)
To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required
position and the temperature selector knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector knob indicator mark to the
required temperature.
The elements will turn on or off automatically which is determined by the thermostat.
The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed on the control panel.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the upper electric oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection ( function selector knob setting)
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
b. by semi-forced convection ( function selector knob setting)
The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed through-
out the oven by the fan.
c. by radiation ( function selector knob setting)
The heat is radiated by the infra-red broil element.
d. by radiation and ventilation ( function selector knob setting)
The radiated heat from the infra-red broil element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.
e. by ventilation ( function selector knob setting; temperature selector
knob on OFF position)
The food is defrosted by using the fan only without heat.
GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an opera-
tional point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 4 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 3 heating elements which
are:
- Lower element 1000 W
- Upper element 650 W
- Broil element 1650 W
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
It is advised to follow these instructions:
-Furnish the interior of the oven by placing the wire rack as described at chapter
“Cleaning and maintenance”.
-Insert shelves and tray.
-Operate the oven at the maximum temperature (temperature selector knob on posi-
tion and function selector knob on position ) to eliminate possible
traces of grease from the lower and upper heating elements. The same operation
should be followed for the broil heating element (temperature selector knob on posi-
tion and function selector knob on position ).
-Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the
oven with soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.

OVEN LIGHT
By turning the function selector knob to this setting, the oven light will illuminate in the
oven cavity (15W).
The oven light will operate on all selected functions.
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements are switched on.
The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature can be regulated
between and position (see “TEMPERATURE SETTING TABLE”) with the tem-
perature selector knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.
Recommended for:
For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i.
e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
With the temperature selector knob in the position only the oven fan is on.
The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.
Recommended for:
To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 2.2 lb (1 kg) requires about one hour. The defrosting
times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION
The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.
The temperature can be regulated between and position (see “TEMPERA-
TURE SETTING TABLE”) with the temperature selector knob.
Recommended for:
For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external
degree of cooking; for ex: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.
VENTILATED BROILING
The infra-red broil element and the fan are on.
The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the
oven.
The temperature can be regulated between and position (see “TEMPERA-
TURE SETTING TABLE”) with the temperature selector knob.
We suggest to set the temperature selector knob on position.
It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
For correct use see chapter “VENTILATED BROILING AND BROILING”.
Always broil with the oven door closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
Recommended for:
For broiling when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

between and position (see “TEMPERATURE SETTING TABLE”).
We suggest to set the temperature selector knob on position.
For correct use see chapter “VENTILATED BROILING AND BROILING”.
Recommended for:
Intense broiling action for cooking with the infra-red element, browning, crisping, “au
gratin”, toasting, etc.
Always broil with the oven door closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
COOKING ADVICE
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Set the function selector knob to position
b.Set the temperature selector knob to position and preheat the oven.
c.Fill the broiler tray with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the broiler tray making sure they do not touch each other and the
door and set the thermostat knob to position .
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.
REGENERATION
Set the function selector knob to position and the temperature selector knob
to position .
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 350 and 400 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

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 only precautions required are the following:
–The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference
of 70° - 80°F between the different foods.
–Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cook-
ing time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a consider-
able saving on time and energy.

16
VENTILATED BROILING AND BROILING
Very important: the broil or ventilated broil must always be used with the oven
door closed.
•Position the shelf on the fourth or fifth level from the top (fig. 4.3).
