How to use your oven 

T

his multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of the more modern 

fan assisted models in a single appliance.

It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking 

modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob“

B

” and 

thermostat“

C

”situated on the control panel. 

Push-in control knob

 (only available on certain models) 

Control knob can be pushed in, and you can push the control knob lightly to release it or lock it. 

Notice:

The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that set the thermostat to the highest setting and 

leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut.Then,open the oven door and 

let the room air in. The odor that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances 

used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.

Notice:

Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from 

dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the rotisserie (only available on certain 

models). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the 

oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Place your cookware (dishes, aluminum foil, 

etc. etc.) On the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides. 

Notice:

to use the oven in manual mode (not using the end cooking time programmer); the        symbol must be 

aligned with the reference mark on the control panel.

.on this setting ,The  top and bottom heating elements 

come on .This is the classic ,traditional type of oven which has been perfected ,with heat distribution and reduced 

energy consumption .The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of 

ingredients ,e. g. cabbage with ribs ,Spanish style cod ,Ancona style stockfish ,tender veal strips with 

rice ,etc .Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised 

meats ,stew ,goulash, wild game ,ham etc. )which need to cook slowly and basting or the addition of liquid .It 

remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven 

baking .When cooking in convection mode ,only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time ,otherwise the 

heat distribution will be uneven .Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat 

between the top and the bottom of the oven .Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the

dish needs more or less heat from the top .

.The top and bottom heating elements, as well as the 

fan ,will come on ,guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. 

This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly(as pre-heating is not necessary),such 

as for example:frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-made”dishes.

The best results when cooking using the “

.The top 

circle and bottom heating elements, as well as 

the fan ,will come on alternately .Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven ,the air cooks 

and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode ,you can also cook various dishes at the same 

time ,as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same .A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the 

same time ,following the instructions in the section entitled:“Cooking On More Than One Rack ”. 

This  cooking  mode  is  particularly  recommended  for  dishes  requiring  a  gratin  finish  or  for  those  requiring 

considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagna, pasta backs, roast chicken and potatoes, 

etc..Moreover the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. 

This  results  in  less  loss  of  juices,  meat  which  is  more  tender  and  a  decrease  in  the  loss  of  weight  for  the 

roast .The Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a 

limited  amount  of  condiments,  thus  maintaining  their  flavor  and  appearance.Excellent  results  can  be  obtained 

when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes,aubergines,peppers,etc... 

Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. 

This mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80

.To 

thaw  more  delicate  foods  ,set  the  thermostat  to  60

or  use  only  the  cold  air  circulation  feature  by  setting  the 

thermostat to 0

  .

. The bottom and circle heating elements, as well as the 

fan  ,will  come  on.This  combination  rapidly  heats  the  oven  due  to  the  large  amounts  of  power  used  by  the 

appliance,which results in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom. 

The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook,like pizzas and large roasts.Only use one 

oven tray or rack at a time.However,if more than one is used,these must be switched halfway through the cooking 

process.

.The top central heating elements comes on .The extremely high and direct 

temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to 

keep them tender .The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: 

beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc …   

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice ”paragraph .

. The top central heating elements and the fan come on. 

This  combination  of  features  increases  the  effectiveness  of  the  unidirectional  thermal  radiation  of  the  heating 

elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the 

surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with 

meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc. 

This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and
