D How To Use Your Appliance The various features of cooker are controlled through the knobs and buttons located on the control panel.

distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the highest setting and leave the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.

Fan Assisted Mode Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 60°C and Max. The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The fan assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides. The Oven Control Knobs This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob “L” and thermostat “M” situated on the control panel.

“Defrosting” Mode Position of thermostat knob “M”: any The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.

“Top” oven Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 60°C and Max. The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking. Grill Position of thermostat knob “M”: Max The top heating element and the turnspit come on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except when using the turnspit. Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.

Convection Mode Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and Max. On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat

Fan Assisted Grill Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and 200°C. The top central heating element and the fan come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, al28

lowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc. All “gratin” cooking must be done with the oven door shut. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

The oven light Set knob “L” to the symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on. Thermostat Light (O) This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.

The turnspit To start the turnspit, proceed as follows: a) place the oven tray on the 1st rack; b) insert the special turnspit support on the 3rd rack and position the spit by inserting it through the special hole into the turnspit at the back of the oven; . c) start the turnspit using knob “L” to select setting

Timer Knob (S) In order to use the timer, it must be wound by turning the "S" knob almost one complete turn in the clockwise direc. Then, turning it back , set the desired time by tion lining up the number for the minutes with the mark on the control panel.

Practical Cooking Advice Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example. When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a drippingpan on the 1st rack from the bottom. Important: always use the grill with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience. Preheating If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), the “fan assisted” mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected. Cooking on More Than One Rack If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same which is the time, use only the “fan assisted mode” only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking. • The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks. • As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom. • When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first. • Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper;

Baking Cakes When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red light “O” will turn off). Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Pastry dropped

Using the Grill This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes. Use the “grill” mode with the oven door ajar, placing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack from the bottom). To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack, place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the bottom. When using this mode, we recommend you set the energy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels can be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired level. , you can use the spit In models fitted with a rotisserie kit provided when using the “grill” mode. In this case, cook with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat. Setting , “fan assisted grill”,only with the oven door shut, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper. I used more than one level (in the function "ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same cooking point Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Fish and Meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C. For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan assisted “ mode: • Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes; • Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust; • Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking; • If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process. • When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and 4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10 minutes.

Cleaning the hob surface Prior to cooking, the hob surface should always be cleaned using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food particles. The hob surface should be regularly cleaned with a lukewarm solution of water and a mild detergent. Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary ceramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat with a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type (not supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade razor edge type (see Fig. A). Then clean the hob while it is still warm to the touch with a suitable cleaner and paper towel. Then rinse it and wipe it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the hob surface they should be immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or any food with a high sugar content. Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers should also not be used (see Fig. B).
