Using the oven
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat nob on the required tempe-
rature.
If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven, turn the
oven function control nob to (bottom heating element
only).
Fan cooking
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
( - ) and set the thermostat nob on the required
temperature. The fan behind the bac panel circulates
heated air into the oven.
If you need to coo more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (fig. 7). If you are coo ing only
one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this
will give you better results.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
and set the thermostat nob on the required temperature.
With the setting on the "double grill" function, you will
obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and
always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level
depends on the thinc ness of the food.
Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with
some water in it, to avoid smo e and unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat nob on the OFF position
(symbol : l). The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof ba ing
trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.
Carefully supervise coo ings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smo e.

Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom with some water
in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on
the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature coo ing (between 150 and 175 °C). If you
need to coo red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently coo ed in the inside), a higher tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Ca es usually need a medium temperature coo ing,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when coo ing ca es or ba ing. Once the
coo ing has been started, eep the oven door closed
during all the coo ing time, and chec the coo ing results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill
function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore,
you need to adjust the coo ing level depending on meat
or fish's thic ness. Always remember to place the dripping
pan in the lower position with some water in it.
