How to Keep Your Oven in Shape

Grill

Set the thermostat to “C”: Max.

The central heating element of the grill will come on. The incandescent heating element cooks food by means of thermal radiation directed downward.The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender.

Double Grill

Set the thermostat to “C”: Max.

Both of the grill elements are activated. This oversized grill has a completely new design, increasing cooking efficiency by 50%.The double grill also eliminates pockets of unheated air in the corners of the oven.

Ventilated Double Grill

Set the thermostat to “C”: between 60°C and 200°C.

Both of the heating elements of the grill are activated, as well as the fan. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven.This helps prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.

Timer (D)

To use the timer, it must be wound using the "D" knob. Turn the knob almost one full turn in the clockwise direction .

Then, turn the knob back , and set the time by positioning the number (minutes) on the knob dial beneath the mark on the control panel.

Oven Light

The light comes on when the "B" knob is turned to the setting.The light illuminates the oven and remains on when any of the heating elements is turned on.

Forced Air Ventilation

In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven, some models have been equipped with a cooling fan which comes on when the "B" knob is turned to a cooking setting. The fan remains on during the cooking process and a flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel. After you have finished cooking, it a good idea to keep the fan on for a few minutes by setting the thermostat knob to "•" in order to allow the oven to cool down rapidly.

3rd Oven Glass

This appliance conforms to all relevant European Standards regarding surface temperatures, however, in order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door and reduce energy consumption, a supplementary kit has been made available as an optional extra. The fitting of this kit should be considered, if energy saving is desirable or if young children may be present. To purchase the supplementary kit code 053413 contact your nearest Merloni Service Centre.

Warning

Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

•The self-cleaning panels (if present) and the enameled parts should be washed with warm water - abrasive powders and corrosive substances should be avoided;

•The inside of the oven should be cleaned immediately after use with warm water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly;

•Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water with a high lime content. We recommend that you rinse these parts thoroughly and dry them well after cleaning. It is also a good idea to dry any water spills;

•Never line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil because the buildup of heat will not only impede the cooking process, but could also damage the enamel.

Replacing the Lamp in the Oven

•Cutoff the supply of power to the oven by turning off the omni-polar switch connecting it to the mains, or by removing the plug if it is accessible;

•Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder;

•Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-tem- perature lamp (300°C) with the following characteristics:

-Voltage: 230/240 V

-Wattage: 25W

-Socket: E14

•Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to the power supply.
