How to use the upper electric oven

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an opera- tional point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.

The 4 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 3 heating elements which are:

- Lower element	1000	W
- Upper element	650	W
- Broil element	1650	W

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

It is advised to follow these instructions:

-Furnish the interior of the oven by placing the wire rack as described at chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

-Insert shelves and tray.

-Operate the oven at the maximum temperature (temperature selector knob on posi-

tion and function selector knob on position ) to eliminate possible traces of grease from the lower and upper heating elements. The same operation

should be followed for the broil heating element (temperature selector knob on posi-

tion and function selector knob on position ).

-Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the oven with soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the upper electric oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. by normal convection ( function selector knob setting) The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by semi-forced convection ( function selector knob setting)

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed through- out the oven by the fan.

c. by radiation ( function selector knob setting) The heat is radiated by the infra-red broil element.

d. by radiation and ventilation ( function selector knob setting)

The radiated heat from the infra-red broil element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

e. by ventilation ( function selector knob setting; temperature selector knob on OFF position)

The food is defrosted by using the fan only without heat.

ATTENTION: the oven becomes very hot during operation.

ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

VERY IMPORTANT

The oven/broil shall be used always with the oven door closed.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required position and the temperature selector knob to the desired temperature.

To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector knob indicator mark to the required temperature.

The elements will turn on or off automatically which is determined by the thermostat. The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed on the control panel.
