USER’S MANUAL
Forced convection ovens have many advantages, the main benefit being that identical or different
dishes can be cooked evenly at several levels. It is therefore particularly suitable for cooking cakes,
pastries, Viennese bread or flaky pastry.
Air circulation is achieved by using one or two turbines inside the oven which draw in air and
expel it onto one or two heating elements, thus producing movement of warm air referred to as
“convection”.
Forced convection ovens have many advantages, the main benefit being that identical or different

It heats quickly and defrosts frozen food evenly.
Different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without taste transference because odours are
destroyed as the air passes over the heating element.
Description :
Made of sheet steel with an acid-resistant enamel coating applied at 850 °C; the gas ovens have 4
shelf positions (58 mm spacing) allowing shelves and flatware to slide in easily. The oven volume
is 62 litres
The dimensions of the oven are identical to the gas oven apart from its depth which is 405 mm.
The oven is heated by a circular two 1700 W elements which surround two 46 W reaction type
fans.
The electric convection oven is supplied equipped with a pastry tray, a shelf and a roasting pan as
standard and the convection oven is equipped with a grill with an output of 2400 W.
There are 3 indicator lamps on the control panel of the electric-oven version :
- Signal lamp lights when the unit is energised (it remains lit

Useful hint : voir § “Recommandations préliminaires à l’usage des fours”
When cooking different dishes simultaneously, preferably place cakes and pastries at higher levels
above other items to be cooked. If the cooking times of dishes vary, place them in the oven so that
they are cooked just in time to serve them and remove them as soon as they are ready.
In a forced convection oven cooking can take place at temperatures lower than in a conventional
oven. Consider reducing the heating temperature.
