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

b. by 
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
d. by radiation and ventilation ( 
function selector knob setting)
The radiated heat from the
e. by ventilation ( 
function selector knob setting; temperature selector knob on OFF position)
The food is defrosted by using the fan only without heat.
