BROILING

The infrared heating element switches on.
The heat is diffused by radiation. The temperature can be set between 120 °F (50 °C)
and 480 °F (250 °C). On selecting this function the electronic programmer starts cooking
with a pre-heating temperature set at 480 °F (210 °C). To vary the temperature see the
“Setting the cooking” chapter.

Recommended for:
Intense broiling action for cooking with the broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting,
etc. For correct use see the “Grilling” chapter.

VENTILATED BROILING

The infrared heating element and the fan switch on. The heat is mainly diffused by radi-
ation and the fan distributes it in the whole oven.
The temperature can be set between 120 °F (50 °C) and 480 °F (250 °C).
On selecting this function the electronic programmer starts cooking with a pre-heating tem-
perature set at 480 °F (220 °C). To vary the temperature see the “Setting the cooking”
chapter.

Recommended for:
For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc. For correct use see the “Fan grilling” chapter.

SELF CLEANING FUNCTION

IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a cooking function but is only used to clean the oven.

Before starting the self cleaning cycle:
- Take all the accessories out of the oven (drip tray and shelves).
- Clean any traces of liquid which have overflowed.
- Close the oven door and make sure that it is closed properly.
If there are cracks or flaws on the oven door glass (inside/outside) or if
the gaskets are ruined or worn or if the door does not close perfectly,
unplug the appliance and contact the AVANTI Service Centre.

GENERAL INFORMATION

In this function the residual cooking greases on the inside walls of the oven cavity are

pulverised by the high temperature. The fumes produced during this process are fil-
tered by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.

Smells and fumes produced during self cleaning are not a cause of alarm. Adequate

ventilation should however be provided in the room where the oven is installed, e.g. by
opening a window.

Do not wait for the oven to be very greasy before performing this cleaning. It should

not be performed after every cooking, either, but only when the level of dirt justifies it
(on average 1 – 2 times a month depending on oven use).

For safety reasons (high temperature of the oven cavity), when the self cleaning starts

the oven door is automatically locked by an electronic device (after about 30 seconds
on the control panel the pilot light with key symbol lights up). The door can no longer
be opened and is only unlocked at the end of the cleaning cycle or, stopping the cycle,
when the oven cavity has cooled to a temperature lower than 570 °F (300 °C).

When the self cleaning function starts an internal fan starts automatically to cool the

oven walls. It only stops at the end of the cycle, when the oven cavity temperature has
dropped below 212 °F (100 °C).

The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the self cleaning cycle and deal-

ing with any problems are described in the following chapters:

- “How to start the self cleaning cycle”
- “Problems on starting and during the self cleaning cycle”
- “How to stop the self cleaning cycle”
- “What to do when the self cleaning cycle has finished”
- “Abnormal situations and/or operating problems”

CAUTION: During the self cleaning cycle the accessible parts may become hot. Keep children away.
