8. Using the auxiliary oven with natural convection

When the auxiliary oven or grill are operating, the outer walls and oven door can become very hot.

Keep children away from the appliance.

Do not allow children to sit on the oven door or play with it.

Do not use the door as a stool.

The end of cooking display and the control knobs on the main oven have no bearing on the operation of the auxiliary oven.

The auxiliary oven with natural convection is equipped with:

a heating element positioned on the base of the oven (at the bottom);

a heating element positioned on the ceiling of the oven (at the top) + grill.

8.1Switching on the auxiliary oven for the first time

The first time it is used, the auxiliary oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat the auxiliary oven to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped.

To start heating the auxiliary oven, select the temperature (from 60 to MAX) or the required function by turning the thermostat knob.

The temperature of the grill, top heat and bottom heat functions is not adjustable.

8.2Cooking with the grill (auxiliary oven)

Turn the thermostat knob to position and let the auxiliary oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes. For correct operations, position the grill shelf on the third guide from the bottom. It is however possible to vary the position of the grill shelf according to personal taste and different cooking requirements. Before putting food in the oven, allow it to preheat for 5 minutes. A cooling system prevents the control knobs from overheating.

8.3Cooking with the spit (auxiliary oven)

Turn the thermostat knob to position and let the auxiliary oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes. In the meantime, proceed as follows:

insert the food on to the spit rod A taking care to hold it firm with the two forks B, and balancing it so as to avoid straining the gearmotor;

place the pulley C of the spit rod onto the support D after introducing the opposite end into the hole E, until the coupling with the gearmotor F so that the rod rotates;

pour a little water into the dripping pan and position it under the spit rod;

monitor the cooking from time to time and check the spit rod is rotating correctly;

at the end of the cooking, switch off the auxiliary oven by returning the thermostat knob to position "0";

remove the spit rod from the auxiliary oven using the knob G and wearing an oven glove.

8.4Switching off the auxiliary oven

The oven is switched off by returning the thermostat knob to position "0".

Thermostat failure. In the event of thermostat failure, the oven becomes overheated until the safety device switches it off. As soon as the temperature lowers under the safety level the oven starts functioning again.
