(fig.-3.2) on LIGHT & FAN position.
Only the fan and the oven lamp switch on. Defrosting takes place by the fan, without
heating.

ed.
CONVECTION BAKING WITH VENTILATION(OVEN BURNER WITH FAN MOTOR)After lighting the oven burner switch on the fan motor by turning the LIGHT & FAN
control knob (fig. 3.2) on LIGHT & FAN position.
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and
introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired tempera-
ture.
Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to
recuperate the stored heat.
It is possible to cook various different foods at the same time. Fish, cakes and meat
can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing.
The only precautions required are the following:
- The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference
of 70-80 °F (20-25 °C) between the different foods.
- Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cooking
time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable
saving on time and energy.
Recommended for:
For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external
degree of cooking; for ex: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.
