HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN
- Before cooking in the first time we reccommend that the oven
should be operated at 200° C for 30 minutes to remove any
manufacturing greases and odours.
- Do not place items or pan directly on to the oven botton.
- Foil should only be used to cover food and not oven shelves or
party of the oven. When used improperly will obstruct the air
circulation causing problems in cooking and/or harmful accidents.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL OVEN
The oven is fitted with:
• a lower heating element;
• an upper heating element;
• a circular heating element surrounding the fan.
N.B.: Always set the temperature on the thermostat knob before
selecting any of the functions.

Light
When you turn the control knob to this position, the light will be
on for all the following operations.
Defrost
The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven for
defrosting food very quickly and without proteins adulterations.
Bake
Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together.
This is the traditional cooking, very good for roasting joints, ideal
for biscuits, baked apples and crisping food.
You obtain very good results when cooking on a shelf adjusting
the temperature between 60 and MAX°C.
Fan Oven
Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together.
The hot air adjustable between 60 and MAX°C is evenly distributed
inside the oven. This is ideal for cooking several types of food
(meat, fish) at the same time without affecting taste and smell.
It is indicated for delicate pastries.
Medium Grill
It is indicated for grilling and gratinating small quantities of traditional
food.
The thermostat knob must be placed on the maximum position.
Grill

The fan assisted grill replaces perfectly the turnspit. You can
obtain very good results also with large quantities of poultry,
sausage, red meat. Turn the thermostat control knob to the 200°C
position.
Fan Lower
The air which is heated by the lower heating element is circulated
