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:
• 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.
