COOKING WITH FAN OVEN
Attention: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
GENERAL FEATURES
No. 3 different thermostatic control
functions are available to satisfy all cooking
requirements, provided by 2 heating
elements which are:
■Circular element 2200 W (@230V)
■Grill element 2000 W (@230V)
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the fan oven are
obtained in the following ways:
a. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven mufe, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the mufe.
Before the hot air is sucked back again
by the fan to repeat the described
cycle, it envelops the food in the
oven, provoking a complete and rapid
cooking. It is possible to cook several
dishes simultaneously.
b. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.
c. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
d. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes
hot. Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside the
oven.

17
THERMOSTAT KNOB
To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required
position and the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the thermostat control 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 close to the knob.
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions.
OVEN LIGHT
By turning the knob onto this setting we light the oven cavity.
The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on “0” because the other
positions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.
Recommended for:
To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
HOT AIR COOKING
The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and
the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the
thermostat knob. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
Recommended for:
For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i.e.
lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole sh, etc.
Figure 11 Figure 12

18
VENTILATED GRILL COOKING
The infra-red grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan
then distributes it throughout the oven.
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob must be regulated between 50°C
and 200°C maximum.
It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
For correct use see chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN”.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
Recommended for:
For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched on.
The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob must be regulated between 50°C
and 200°C maximum.
For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
COOKING ADVICE
The external parts of the appliance become hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and
introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to
recuperate the stored heat.
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185°C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the
door and set the thermostat knob to position 135°C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off
the oven and let cool.

19
REGENERATION
Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150°C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The oven set on position gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as sh, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the
smells and avours.
This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical
element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
The only precautions to follow are:
■The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with
a maximum difference of 20- 25°C.
■The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in
relation to the cooking times of each one.
The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
■that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200°C.
■that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
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.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.
GRILLING AND COOKING “AU GRATIN”
Grilling may be done using the grill+fan setting , in this setting the hot air completely
surrounds the food that is to be cooked, to give a more even and rapid cooking process.
Set the temperature knob between 50°C and 200°C maximum, preheat the oven, then
simply place the food on the grid.
Close the door until grilling is complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin”
effect.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.
