CONVENTIONAL COOKING
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
If you need more heat from the bottom or from the top,
turn the oven function control knob to
(top heating
element only) or (bottom heating element only).
THE FAN OVEN ( )
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol (
) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature. The fan behind the back panel
circulates heated air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven
at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom. If you are cooking only one
dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will
give you better results.
DEFROSTING
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF
position (symbol : ● ). The oven fan operates without
heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven.
• The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250
°
C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
• Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
• Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when
placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any
fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens,
carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells
or smoke.
HINTS AND TIPS ON COOKING FISH AND
MEAT
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on
the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the
dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with
some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling
of melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175
°
C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe-
rature (between 200 and 250
°
C) for a short time is
recommended.
COOKING WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
HINTS AND TIPS ON BAKING
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200
°
C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking
results through the oven door glass.
HINTS AND TIPS ON GRILLING
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill
function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level
depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember
to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.
GREASE FILTER
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted
over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the
back panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan
impellor. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the
seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding
tongue on the filter upward. (See Fig. 4)
Fit the gease filter only when roasting.
