The Oven Control Knobs
The “7 Programms” oven combines all the advantages of
traditional “static” ovens with those of modern “ventilated”
ones.
The”7 Programms” oven is extremely versatile and offers
7 different but sure and easy ways of cooking. Use the
knobs to select the different cooking functions available
on the “7 Programms” oven:
L - selector knob;
M - thermostat knob.
When the selector knob is on any other setting than that
identified by the “o”, the oven light turns on. The setting
identified by the 8 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
- Position of the “L” knob: a
- Position of the “M” 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. Pastry Mode
- Position of the “L” knob: u
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50° and Max
The fan will start and all of the heating elements will turn
on. This provides a delicate heating process with a preva-
lence of heat from the bottom. This mode is ideal for bak-
ing and cooking delicate foods - especially pastries that
need to rise because the heat coming from the bottom
helps the leavening process. Some advice:
• Always preheat the oven;
• Never place more than one dish in the oven at a time;
• The rack (unless cooking directly on the dripping-pan)
should be used because it allows for better air circula-
tion; In any case, do not leave unused dripping-pans
in the oven;
• Position the rack at the third or second height from the
bottom in order to take full advantage of the heat rising
from the bottom of the oven; Place the pastry pan in
the centre of the rack;
• Do not open the door when cooking pastries in order
to prevent rapid temperature changes that could im-
pede the cooking process and make the pastry drop.
3. Pizza Mode
- Position of the “L” knob: w
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven
due to the large amount of power used by the appliance
(2700 W), which results in the production of considerable
heat coming prevalently from the bottom and from forced
air circulation. The pizza mode is ideal for foods which
need high temperatures to cook, like pizza and large
roasts. Use only one dripping-pan or rack at a time. How-
ever, if more than one is used, they must be switched half
way through the cooking process.
4. Ventilation Mode
- Position of the “L” knob: J
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven due to the fan at the bottom, 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 enti-
tled, “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 etc...
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possi-
ble 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
ventilated 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 appear-
ance. Excellent results can also be attained when cook-
ing vegetable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, toma-
toes, 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.
5. Grill
- Position of the “L” knob: I
- Position of the “M” 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...
6. The “Double Grill”
- Position of the “L” knob: d
- Position of the “M” 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.
