The Oven Control Knobs
The "5 Programms" oven combines all the advantages of
traditional "static" ovens with those of modern "ventilated"
ones.
The"5 Programms" oven is extremely versatile and offers
5 different but sure and easy ways of cooking. Use the
knobs to select the different cooking functions available
on the "5 Programms" oven:
G - selector knob;
N - thermostat knob.
When the selector knob is on any other setting than that
identified by the "o", the oven light turns on. The setting
8
identified by the
symbol makes it possible to turn the
oven light on without having any of the oven heating ele-
ments on. When the oven light is on, it means that the
oven is in use, and it will remain on for the entire time the
oven is being used.
1.Convection Mode
a
- Position of the "G" knob:
- Position of the "N" knob: between 50°C and Max
On this setting, the light comes on and the top and bottom
heating elements are activated. This is the classic, tradi-
tional type oven which has perfected, with exceptional heat
distribution and reduced energy consumption. The con-
vection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking
dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with
ribs, stews, etc. Excellent results are achieved when pre-
paring meat-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 still remains
the best system for cooking pastries and fruit in general
and when using specific covered containers for oven cook-
ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-
ping-pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven. Select from among the various
rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or
less heat from the top or bottom.
2. Ventilation Mode
L
- Position of the "G" knob:
- Position of the "N" knob: between 50°C and Max
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven due to the fan at the behind, 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 rack levels can be used at the
same time, following the instructions in the section en-
titled, "Cooking On More Than One Rack". This cooking
mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require
an extended cooking time like lasagne, macaroni bake,
chicken and roast potatoes, etc...
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible
to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This re-
sults in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and
a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The venti-
lated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can
be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of con-
diments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance.

Excellent results can also be attained when cooking veg-
etable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the venti-
lated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw
meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°-
100°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
50°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
3. Grill
F
- Position of the "G" knob:
- Position of the "N" knob: Max
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is
also highly recommended for dishes that require high tem-
perature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, fi-
lets, hamburger etc...
4. The "Double Grill"
d
- Position of the "G" knob:
- Position of the "N" knob: Max
This oversized grill has a completely new design, increas-
ing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill also elimi-
nates pockets of unheated air in the corners of the oven.
Important: Always leave the oven door closed when
using the grill setting n order to achieve the best results
and save on energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack heights
(see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath
the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bot-
tom of the oven.
5. Ventilated Double Grill
M
- Position of the "G" knob:
- Position of the "N" knob: between 50 and 200°C
This combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating ele-
ments through forced air circulation of the air throughout
the oven. This helps prevents foods from burning on the
surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. Ex-
cellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats
and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail,
pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish
steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn on (where
present). Cooking with this function is especially recom-
mended for meat dishes such as loins, poultry, etc....
Note: When using the grill (features 3, 4, 5), the oven
door must be closed.
The oven-operating pilot lamp (L)
Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature se-
lected 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.
Attention
Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very
hot during the cooking.
