GENERAL FEATURES
The heating and cooking in electrical hot
air ovens take place by forced convection.
The two elements which make this pro-
cess take place are:
- Grill element 2000 W
- Circular element 2200 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on the maximum posi-
tion) for 60 minutes in the position to
eliminate possible traces of grease on the
heating elements.
Repeat the operation for another 15 min-
utes with the grill element on as explained
in the chapters GRILLING and USE OF
THE GRILL.
3BOTTOM MAIN OVEN
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, which circulates it through the cir-
cular heating element and then forced
back into the oven by the fan. 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 pos-
sible to cook several dishes simultane-
ously.
b. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red grill
element.
c. 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.

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 dif-
ference of 20° - 25°C between the dif-
ferent 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.
USE OF THE GRILL
Set the switch to position and the
thermostat knob between 50°C and
225°C maximum.
Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.
Introduce the food to be cooked, posi-
tioning 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.
Grilling with the oven door closed and
do not for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

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
175 °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 ther-
mostat knob to position 125 °C.
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 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.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is neces-
sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
