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 
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless 
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.
FAN ASSISTED mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come 
on. 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 fan assisted mode is particularly recommended 
for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those 
requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, 
such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, 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 fan 
assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, 
which can be prepared with the addition of a limited 
amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour 
and appearance. 
Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect for 
baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly 
white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature 
to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the 
thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation 
feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. 
It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches 
the selected temperature. At this point the light 
illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating 
that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the 
temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to 
any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the 
oven is operating. By selecting 
with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Timer*
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction  for 
almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction  
to set the desired length of time.
Cooking modes
BAKING mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, 
guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly 
throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate 
foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the 
preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same 
time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and 
savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small 
portions of vegetables au gratin, etc…..
CONVECTION mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements 
come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven 
which has been perfected, with exceptional heat 
distribution and reduced energy consumption. The 
convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to 
cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. 
cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style 
stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent

The central part of the top heating element is switched
on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount
of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place
the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked
properly if it is placed in the corners.
