extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily and
safely choose between 7 different cooking modes.The
various features can be accessed by manually moving
the programmer or by selecting from the start/end cooking

the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven
during storage and until it is installed.

Set the termostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C.
The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom
of the oven will come on. The heat is distributed uniformly

pastries and fruit in general. When cooking in convection
mode, only use one dripping-pan or cooking rack at a time,

from among the various rack heights based on the whether
the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.
