4 - HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
Attention: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view .
In fact, it is possible to insert 8 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need .
The 8 positions, thermostatically controlled,
are obtained by 4 heating elements which
are:
• Bottom element
• Top element
• Grill element
• Circular element
NOTE: Upon first use, it is advisable
to operate the oven at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position
250) for 60 minutes in the position
for another 15 minutes in the
in order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistances .
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid .
Smells and fumes produced during this
burn off process are not a cause of alarm.
Adequate ventilation should however be
provided in the room where the appliance
is installed, e .g . by opening a window .
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating element inside the oven
cavity.
Do not line the oven walls or base
with aluminium foil. Do not place bak-
ing trays or the drip tray on the base
of the oven chamber.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the conventional
oven are obtained:
a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements .
b. by forced convection

A fan draws in the air contained in
the oven, which circulates it through
the circular heating element and then
forced back into the oven by the fan .

Before the hot air is drawn back
again by the fan to repeat the cycle,
it envelops the food in the oven,
provoking a complete and rapid
cooking . It is possible to cook several
dishes simultaneously .
c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan .
and
d. by radiation
, mode

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element .
e. by radiation and ventilation

The radiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan .
f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat
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 .
