OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the fan oven are
obtained in the following ways:
a. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven, which circulates it through the cir-
cular heating element and then forced
back into the oven by the fan. Before
the hot air is sucked back again by the
fan to repeat the described cycle, it
envelops the food in the oven, provoking
a complete and rapid cooking. It is pos-
sible to cook several dishes simultane-
ously.
to
b. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red grill
element.
c. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes
hot. Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside the
oven.
