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
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.
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.

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.
Using the cooking timer
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:
align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob
with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used
as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the  symbol.
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
