The Controls

This model combines, in a single appliance, the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily and safely choose between 7 different cooking modes.The various modes can be selected by adjusting the function selector “B” and the temperature control “C” on the control panel.

Oven light

When the function selector “B” is in any position other than the "" position, the oven light comes on.

NOTE: to turn the oven light on without activating any of the heating elements, the function selector "B" must be

turned to the setting indicated by the symbol and the temperature control "C" must be set to zero indicated by the "" symbol.

Convection Mode

Set the temperature control (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 from the top to the bottom. The convection mode is recommended for preparing meat-based dishes featuring beef or veal which require slow cooking and basting. It is the best cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general. When cooking in convection mode, only use one baking tray or

shelf at a time, otherwise the the heat distribution with be uneven. Select from among the various shelf positions based on the whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.

Lower heating element

Set the temperature control (C) between 50°C and 250°C. By turning the control to this position, the oven light and lower heating element come on.

This is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is well-cooked on the surface but still soft inside.

Note that when using this position, the temperature is automatically set at the maximum temperature which cannot be changed using the temperature control.

Upper heating element

Set the temperature control (C) between 50°C and 250°C. By turning the control to this position, the oven light and upper heathing element come on.

This is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already inside well-cooked but needs browning.
