GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 4 positions, thermostatically con-
trolled, are obtained by 3 heating ele-
ments which are:
- Lower element 1300 W
- Upper element 1000 W
- Grill element 2000 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on the maximum posi-
tion) for 60 minutes in the position
and to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.
Repeat the operation for another 15
minutes with the grill element on as
explained in the chapters GRILLING
and USE OF THE GRILL.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the PLURI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol-
lowing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
c. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra-red
grill element.
d. by radiation and ventilation
The radiated heat from the infra-red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
e. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only without heat.

GREASE FILTER (some models only)
– A special screen is provided at the
back of the oven to catch grease par-
ticles, mainly when meat is being
roasted (see page 24).
– When baking pastry etc. this filter
should be removed.
– Always clean the filter after cooking as
any solid residues on it might adverse-
ly affect the oven performance.
