Fan Lower Heat

The lower heating element and the fan motor are switched on.

The heat coming from the bottom is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be set between 50 and 250°C.

The pre-heating temperature is set at 190°C. To change the temperature, follow the instructions in the “SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE” chapter.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher temperature at the bottom.

Grilling

The infrared heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature between 50 and 225°C maximum.

The pre-heating temperature is set at 225°C. To change the temperature, follow the instructions in the “SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE” chapter.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

For correct use see the “USE OF THE GRILL AND TURBO GRILL” chapter.

The external parts of the oven become hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

Turbo Grill

In this position the upper heating element and the grill element are switched on simultaneously. Heat is radiated over the entire surface area of the grill.

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature between 50 and 225°C maximum.

The pre-heating temperature is set at 225°C. To change the temperature, follow the instructions in the “SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE” chapter.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

For correct use see the “USE OF THE GRILL AND TURBO GRILL” chapter.

The external parts of the oven become hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

6Q6, 6V6, 6Z6 specifications

CDA 6Q6, 6Z6, and 6V6 are three notable vacuum tubes that have played a significant role in the realm of audio amplification and electronic devices. Each of these tubes has unique features and characteristics that make them ideal for various applications, particularly in the world of vintage audio equipment.

The 6Q6 is primarily used in audio amplifiers and radio transmitters. It boasts a maximum plate power dissipation of 19 watts, making it suitable for moderate power output applications. The tube operates with a relatively high gain and is well-regarded for its ability to produce a warm, rich sound that is cherished by audiophiles. The 6Q6 is also noted for its linearity, providing accurate sound reproduction, which is essential for high-fidelity audio systems.

On the other hand, the 6Z6 is a lesser-known tube that was designed for use in similar applications. It operates at lower power levels compared to the 6Q6, typically being used in smaller radio applications and low-power audio amplifiers. With a maximum plate power dissipation of around 14 watts, it is perfect for specific niche applications where size and power consumption are critical. The tonal characteristics of the 6Z6 may not be as robust as the 6Q6, but it still provides a pleasing sound suitable for small, vintage audio applications.

The 6V6 is one of the most popular and widely used power tubes in electric guitar amplifiers and hi-fi audio systems. Known for its distinctive sweet tonal qualities, the 6V6 is favored by many musicians and audio engineers. The maximum plate power dissipation of the 6V6 is around 14 to 20 watts, depending on the specific variant, which makes it versatile for various setups. Its robust frequency response allows it to handle both clean and overdriven tones effectively, making it an ideal choice for guitar players seeking to achieve a unique sound signature.

All three tubes showcase advancements in thermionic technology, providing excellent reliability and performance. They each have distinct electrical characteristics, such as differing gain levels and power handling capabilities, allowing engineers and designers to select the appropriate tube based on the specific requirements of the audio circuit. Despite the advent of solid-state technologies, these vacuum tubes continue to enjoy popularity in the realms of vintage audio, guitar amplification, and specialized communications equipment, showcasing their enduring legacy and appeal within the industry.
