DeLonghi AS 670 - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION
1) Check that the appliance has not suffered any damage due to transportation.
2) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface out of the reach of children (the glass door becomes
very hot while the oven is in operation).
3) Before using this appliance, move it two to four inches away from the wall or any object on the
counter top. Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance.
Do not use on surfaces where heat may be a problem.
4) The oven light B (optional) is always on when the oven is on.
IMPORTANT TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
POSITIONING THE WIRE SHELVES:
There are two slots on the sides of the oven. Slide one or both shelves into these positions. The upper
shelf can be turned over, allowing three different levels. The recipes will suggest the best arrangement (1
to 3; see page 5) where necessary for best results. The shelf reversed in slot 1 must be used only with the
dehydrator kit P (optional).
ACCESSORIES AND UTENSILS
The shallow pan is designed to permit the circulating heat to surround the food (except for the bottom
surface) more effectively. Use it as you would any shallow baking or roasting pan. Other utensils you
own can be used provided that an inch or so of space remains open to allow circulation of the fan-
forced heat. Casserole covers should not be used and glass ovenware should not be placed closer than
two inches from the upper heating element.
The cookies sheets provided must also be centered on the shelf.
When using both sheets on two wire shelves, place wire
shelves in position 1 and 3.
Use handgrip to bring the wire
rack out of the oven when it is hot.
PREHEATING THE OVEN
When you turn the oven on (except in the DEFROST mode) the pilot light will light until the oven has
reached the set temperature. It will cycle on and off during cooking and the heating element (s) will glow
red or turn black as they respond to the thermostat setting. This is normal. Preheating generally takes 5
to 8 minutes depending on the temperature setting.
It is not necessary to preheat for long-cooking foods such as roasts or casseroles.
USE ALUMINUM FOIL
Do NOT allow foil to touch sides of the oven or the heating elements. Foil can be used to cover foods or
the shallow pan (for easier clean-up) provided foil is tucked in securely around the food or the edges of
the pan or dish. DO NOT cover the broiling rack as this can cause accumulated grease to catch fire.
DO NOT cover the crumb tray (I).
Unlike an ordinary toaster-oven, the DELONGHI features seven functions: convection and traditional
baking and roasting, toasting, broiling, keeping food warm, defrosting frozen foods and even
dehydrating sliced fruits for nutritious snacks.
