Oven functions

	Conventional	It is used for sponges and cakes where the heat received must be uniform to achieve a spongy texture.
	Lower element	Heat only from beneath. Suitable for heating dishes and raising pastry and similar.
	Grill and Lower element	Special for roasts. It can be used for any piece, whatever its size.
	Single Grill	For preparing dishes with superficial roasting. It allows the outer layer to be browned without affecting the inside of the food. Ideal for flat food, such as steaks, ribs, fish, toast.
	Dual Grill	Allows greater surfaces to be prepared, than with the grill, together with higher power reducing the time required for browning of the food.
	Dual Grill with fan	Allows uniform roasting at the same time as surface browning. Ideal for grills. Special for large volume pieces, such as poultry game etc. It is recommended to put the item on a rack with a tray beneath to collect the stock and juices.
	Conventional with fan	Suitable for roasts and cakes. The fan spreads the heat evenly throughout the inside of the oven to reduce cooking time and temperature.
	Turbo	The fan distributes the heat produced by an element located at the rear of the oven. Due to the uniform heat distribution, it allows roasting and baking to take place at two heights at the same time.
	Lower element with fan	Ideal for baking pizzas, pies, and fruit tarts or sponges.
LTC	Low temperature cooking	Designed to cook casseroles, stews, etc, in the traditional way, and for all recipes specifying long cooking times and low heat. For the best results, we recommend using covered casserole pans with lids, first making sure that they can be used in the oven.
	Defrosting	For defrosting e.g. gateaux and flans, butter, bread, fruit or other frozen foods.

Caution!

While using the Grill, Dual Grill or Dual Grill with fan, the door must be kept closed.

Recommendations for Defrosting Food

The defrost function works by means of a 2-level system of hot air. HI is for meats in general and LO is for fish, cakes, pastries and bread. When selecting the defrost function, select HI or LO on the temperature display by pressing on the temperature button 0 and then the + buttons.

• Unpackaged food should be placed on the oven tray or on a dish.

• Defrost large pieces of meat or fish by placing them over the grid with a tray underneath to collect any liquid.

• Meat and fish do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. Condiments can be added once the surface is soft.
• Food should always be cooked after defrosting.
• Do not refreeze defrosted food.

See the following chart for defrosting times and temperature levels

FOOD	LO LEVEL		HI LEVEL
	Weight	Time	Weight	Time
Bread	1/2 Kg	35 min
Cake	1/2 Kg	25 min

Water Cleaning function

About this function

In order to keep you appliance working properly it should be regularly cleaned to prevent any build up of food, deposits or greases.

This function can help to make the cleaning process easier and more convenient for you.

How it works

By using heat, Steam and few drops of washing up liquid food deposit are loosened and softened enough to make their removal much easier-eliminating the need to scrub the enamel and avoid any scratches on the surface.

How to use:

• Remove all internal components (side shelves support/grids/pans) before use.
• Put 500ml approximately of water with a few drops of washing up liquid added

into a large absorbent sponge which is placed on the base of the oven cavity.

• If the oven cavity is heavily soiled, you may want to leave the solution to soak for a short time.
• Close the oven door.
• Select the "Bottom" function at a temperature of 220^ .
• Select with the Timer a period of 5 minutes.
• After the cycle is finished please wait 15 minutes before opening the door.
• Make sure that the appliance is switched off.
• Use the large absorbent sponge to remove any excess of water from the base of the cavity.
• You can now clean the inside of the oven.
• Make sure at the end to dry all the inside and the surround of the appliance, particularly the door seals.

Care and Cleaning

Caution!

Before carrying out any work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Cleaning the Inside of the Oven
