How to use your appliance 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 “B” and thermostat “C” situated on the control panel.
How to use your appliance End Cooking Time Knob (I) (only available on certain models) Some models are equipped with a timer program to control when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use this feature, you must wind the “I” knob one full turn in the clockwise direction 4 ; Then, turn the knob in the counter-clockwise direction 5, to set the time by matching up the indicator on the control panel with the number of minutes on the knob.
How to Keep Your Oven in Shape How to remove the oven door For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven door. Proceed as follows: • open the door fully; • lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges; • grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly but not completely; • pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat; Reassemble the door by following the above procedures backwards. Before cleaning your oven disconnect it from the power supply.
Practical Cooking Advice 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 “fan assisted grill” with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).
Practical Cooking Advice 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.
