Weighing gril

For routine cleaning access can be gained to the upper
parts of the oven by removing the screw and washer (A)
from the middle of the grill element and then gently tilting
the element in a downward direction.
Once cleaned the grill can be returned to the correct posi-
tion by reversing the above procedure.
NB: For cleaning instructions please refer to the section
entitled cleaning and maintenance.
WARNING: the oven must only be used when the grill in its
correct position.

USEFUL TIPS

Shelf safety system

The oven features a new shelf safety system.
This allows you to pull out the oven shelves when in-
specting the food without danger of food spillages or
shelves folling accidentally out of the oven.
To remove the shelves pull out and lift.

Grilling

Grilling makes it possible to give food a rich brown colour quickly.
For browning we recommend that you insert the grill onto the fourth level, depending in the
proportions of the food (see fig. 2, page 32).
Almost all food can be cooked under the grill except for very lean game and meat rolls.
Meat and fish that are going to be grilled should first be lightly doused with oil.

Cooking times

For recommended cooking times and temperatures the first time you use the oven, refer to the
tables on pages 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34. You may then wish to vary these times and settings
in the light of your own experience.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the stainless steel and enamelled surfaces with warm, soapy water or with suitable
brand products. On no account use abrasive powders that may damage surfaces and ruin the
oven’s appearance. It is very important to clean the oven each time that it is used. Melted fat is
deposited on the sides of the oven during cooking. The next time the oven is used this fat

Fan grilling with closed door
Hot air from the grill element is circulated around the food by
the fan at the required temperature, between 50 and 200°C.
The fan is an excellent substitute for the rotisserie and ensures
excellent results with poultry, sausages and red meats, also in
large quantities.

Fan oven
Both the upper and lower elements are working, assisted by
the internal oven fan. This function is recommended for
cooking poultry, fish, bread etc. This system ensures an even
distribution of heat, making it possible to cook any dish on a
large tray.

Defrosting at room temperature
This function allows air at room temperature to be circulated
round the item. In this way the food defrosts in just a few minu-
tes without affecting the content.

Traditional grilling with closed door
In this position, the infrared grill element comes on. Excellent
for cooking thin or medium slices of meat (sausages, chops,
bacon)

Pizza function
The intense heat generated when using this function is similar
to that produced in traditional wood-fired pizza ovens.

Lower element & fan
Recommended for delicate cooking (soufflés)

Natural convection
Both upper and lower elements are working.
Traditional cooking, best for roasting a leg of lamb or game.
Ideal for biscuits and baked apples, and for crisping foods.
Best results are obtained by placing on a shelf and regulating
the temperature between 50 and 240°C.

Fan oven
An internal fan ensures that the hot air is evenly distributed to all
levels in the oven.
Ideal for cooking different types of food at the same time (fish,
meat, without mixing flavours or aromas).
Delicate cooking - recommended for sponge cakes, puff pastry,
etc.

Keeping food warm
The upper and lower elements work intermittently with fan as-
sistance. The temperature is pre-set at a constant 60°C (this
function does not allow the working temperature to be regula-
ted). Ideal for keeping food hot that has just been cooked,
without overcooking it. It is also useful for warming dishes.

Defrosting
The upper and lower elements work intermittently with fan as-
sistance. The temperature is pre-set at a constant 40°C (this
function does not allow the operating temperature to be regu-
lated). This function allows rapid defrosting prior to cooking.
