The cook-top pilot lamp (E)

This turns on whenever any electric heating element in the cook-top is on.

The red oven-operating pilot lamp (F)

The light, situated to the left of the oven thermostat knob, signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the temperature inside the oven reached the temperature selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.

Forced air oven

Development of “Forced Air” Oven has meant substantial reductions in running cost in comparison with conventional cooking appliances. The term “Forced Air” is as the name implies, a method of cooking with the air forced firstly over the heating elements and then horizontally through the oven cavity. The benefits of this are numerous, it ensures further utilisation of the heat generated by the heating elements to provide even temperature throught out the oven cavity, also to reduce oven pre-heating times and enable cooking to be done at lower temperatures. With even heat distribution the advantages are to cook at the same time at different levels the same or different types of food, such as roast and fish. This fact can only be made possible in a “Forced Air” Oven, because volatile substances containing odours and flavours with a molecular structure soluble in water, flavour contamination can pass into a body being heated only if there is condensation. With “Forced Air” this cannot happen, the immediate heating of the external surfaces of the food makes the surfaces dehydrate creating a protective barrier preventing absorption. Coupled with the fact that the expelled by the fan is pushed through a heating element a sterilisation effect of odours occurs. Although a reduction in both temperature and duration of cooking is necessary, these adjustements will be done according to your perso- nal taste. As a guide we would recommend a reduction of ten minutes in every hour of cooking with a reduction of 20°C in every 100°C of temperature in comparison with a conventional oven.

Operation

A knob located on the control panel controls the following oven operations:

5

∙Defrosting with cold air

∙Cooking 70°C- 250°C

∙Grill G

Commissioning

The cooker is equipped, with a mechanical automatic programmer (Fig. A). Before operating the oven or the grill, ensure that the symbol coincides with the pointer on dial 4.

∙When the button is pushed, in the oven the light comes on.

∙When the knob is set to the simbol the fan operates for defrosting frozen products without any heat.

∙The control knob can be set on temperatures rangin from 70°C to 250°C which will enable you to select the temperatures best suited to your cooking.

∙To operate the infra-red grill, set the knob on the symbol G (in which case the oven circo-fan will not operate).

The oven and grill warning-light remains on during operation.

Note: Whilst operating the grill ensure the oven door is ajar in the vertical position and the heat deflector is correctly positioned (see Fig. A).

The guard plate gets hot when the grill is use. Remove it with care, using an oven glove or similar, and put it away carefully in a safe place. The guard plate must be removed before attempting to fully close the oven door.

Caution: To operate the Grill Pan use the proper handle as shown in figure B.

Operation of the Variable Grill

The variable grill is controlled by knob B. Before operation, adjust the oven control knob to position G. Position “1” corresponds to minimum power, position “6” corresponds to maximum power. On “0” position the grill don’t operate.

When you are using the grill or the oven, some parts of the door can become very hot. Keep children away from these.

Useful hints

∙Only use pans which are heat resistant up to 300°C.

∙The oven double glass reduces the temperature of the oven door, avoid however touching the glass when the oven is operating.

∙While grilling, position the tray on the first shelf.
