How to use your appliance  
The 7 Chefs oven combines the advantages of traditional  
Once pre-heating is complete, an acoustic signal will sound  
convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted  
models in a single appliance.  
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose  
easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The  
various features offered by the oven are selected by means  
of selector knob “B” situated on the control panel.  
and the icon m will come on permanently, and at this  
stage you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre-  
heated oven.  
Note:the FAST COOKING and GRILL modes do not inclu-  
de a pre-heating phase. Please remember that you can  
always do the following when cooking is under way:  
change the cooking mode by turning knob “B”;  
change the temperature by turning knob “C”;  
programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see  
paragraph entitled “Programming the cooking mode”).  
stop it at any time by setting knob “B” back to 0.  
Notice:The first time you use your appliance, we recommend  
that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave  
the oven on for at least half an hour with nothing in it, with the  
oven door shut.Then, open the oven door and let the room  
air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is  
due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the  
oven during storage and until it is installed.  
Note: For safety reasons, a cooking time of 2 hours is set  
for each cooking mode by default. Should this time fail to  
be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once  
this time is up.  
Setting the digital clock  
The time can only be set on the clock when knob “B” is in  
position 0.  
Notice: Place the oven tray provided on the bottom shelf of  
the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping  
onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when  
using the turnspit (only available on certain models). For all  
other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never  
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in  
operation because this could damage the enamel coating.  
Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc.etc.)  
on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially  
along the oven guides.  
After the appliance has been connected to the power supply,  
or when the power has gone out, the clock display will  
automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink.  
Turn knob C to set the hours and then press OK to confirm.  
Turn knob C again to set the minutes and then press OK  
to confirm the time definitively.Any changes can be made  
by pressing button 2 and following the above procedure.  
Timer Feature  
The timer does not control the starting or stopping of the  
oven, it merely sounds a buzzer when the time is up and  
can be interrupted at any time just by pressing a button.  
To set the timer, press button 3, adjust it using knob C and  
Convection Oven a  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come  
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven 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, local stockfish recipes,  
tender veal with rice, etc.Excellent results are achieved when  
preparing meat-based dishes as well: braised meats, stew,  
goulash, 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 and pastries as well as  
fruit and cooking casseroles. When cooking in convection  
mode, use only one rack, as the temperature would not be  
distributed evenly on several racks. 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.  
then press the OK button to confirm. The nicon will remind  
you the timer is on.  
Once the countdown is over, a buzzer will sound, and will stop  
doing so after 1 minute or if you press any button whatsoever.  
The oven light  
It can be turned on at any time with the oven turned off,  
simply by pressing button 1 or by opening the oven door.  
Cooling fan  
In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the  
oven, a cooling fan generates a flow of air that can be  
heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.  
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until  
the oven cools down sufficiently.  
Note:InFast cookingmode, the fan comes on automatically  
only when the oven is hot.  
Notice: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which  
detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter  
by messages such as “Fn m” that come up on the display (n  
and m = single digit numbers). In these cases, you need to  
call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty.  
Multi-Cooking Mode b  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The heating elements and the fan come on alternately.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”.  
HowTo UseYour Oven  
Turn knob B to select the desired cooking mode.The oven  
will immediately start the pre-heating phase, during which  
the icon mwill flash on the display, and the cooking tem-  
perature associated with the mode selected will be  
displayed: should this value not be the one you desire,  
you can modify it simply by turning knob C.  
This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes  
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably

How to use your appliance  
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta  
Baking Mode u  
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 Multi-cooking 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. Excellent results  
can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes  
like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.  
Desserts:this 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.  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
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…..  
“Fast cooking” Mode v  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing  
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.  
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-  
packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such  
as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a  
few “home-made” dishes.  
The best results when cooking using theFast cookingmode  
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second  
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical  
Cooking Advice”.  
Grill d  
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 50% and 100%.  
The top heating element comes on.  
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 a high  
temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib  
steak, filets, hamburgers etc...  
Always cook in this mode with the oven door ajar.  
Some grilling examples are included in thePractical Cooking  
Adviceparagraph.  
“Defrosting” Mode U  
Position of thermostat knob “C”: any  
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air  
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is  
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in  
particular for delicate types of food which do not require  
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or  
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the  
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of  
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the  
process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the  
temperature to 80° - 100°C.  
Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different  
energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%)  
and maximum (100%) settings.  
Gratin e  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The top heating element and the fan come on.  
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of  
the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements  
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.This  
helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the  
heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are  
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,  
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,  
pork chops, etc.  
All“gratin”cooking must be done with the oven door shut.  
The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna,  
swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.  
Pizza Mode w  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the  
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven  
due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance  
(2800 W), which results in the production of considerable  
heat coming prevalently from the bottom.  
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures  
to cook, like pizzas and large roasts.Only use one oven tray  
or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these  
must be switched halfway through the cooking process.

How to KeepYour Oven in Shape  
How to remove the oven door  
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven  
door. Proceed as follows:  
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, dis-  
connect it from the power supply.  
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned  
frequently, keeping in mind that:  
open the door fully;  
lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two  
hinges;  
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be  
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-  
sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains  
are difficult to remove, use special products available  
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse  
thoroughly and dry.  
grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly  
but not completely;  
pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;  
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures  
backwards.

the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned  
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot  
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and  
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de-  
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and  
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as  
limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the  
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly  
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-  
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.  
if you use your oven for an extended period of time,  
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.  
there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening  
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the  
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary,  
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects  
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact  
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom-  
mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re-  
paired.  
Replacing the Oven Lamp  
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means  
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance  
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the  
plug is accessible;  
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;  
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac-  
teristics:  
-
-
-
Voltage: 230/240 V  
Wattage 25W  
Type E14  
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains power supply.  
never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the  
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise  
the cooking and even damage the enamel.  
clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or  
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

Practical Cooking Advice  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow  
The “Gratin” mode e only with the oven door shut, is  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a  
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-  
sonal experience.  
extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution  
of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface,  
but also to cook the bottom part.  
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the  
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin  
finish to pasta bakes, for example.  
Cooking on More Than One Rack  
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd  
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to  
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of  
the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-  
pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.  
Important:always cook inGratinmode with the oven  
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent  
results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).  
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat  
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,  
which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this  
does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply  
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired tempera-  
ture.  
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes  
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks  
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease  
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke  
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven  
rack from the bottom.  
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either  
the “baking” mode uor the “Multi-cooking” mode b, as  
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.  
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use  
the “baking” mode u, which allows you to cook on 3  
racks at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the  
bottom). Some examples are included in the “Practical  
Cooking Advice” table.  
When cooking other food on several racks, use the “Mul-  
ti-cooking” mode b keeping the following suggestions  
in mind:  
The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted  
cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest  
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and  
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these  
racks.  
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the  
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat  
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when  
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place  
the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more  
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.  
When cooking food that requires differing times and  
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere  
between the two temperatures required, place the more  
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take  
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.  
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on  
the upper;  
Pastry is too dry  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Pastry dropped  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode  
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use  
pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or pre-  
cooked food) along with other food items.You will find useful  
suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Using the Grill  
The “7 Chefs” oven offers you several different grilling  
modes.  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
Use the “grill” mode dwith the oven door ajar, placing  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd  
or 4th rack from the bottom).  
To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack,  
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the  
bottom.  
When using this mode, we recommend you set the en-  
ergy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels  
can be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the  
desired level.  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour or use greaseproof paper.  
I used more than one level (in the function  
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same  
cooking point  
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to  
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Practical Cooking Advice  
Baking Cakes  
Cooking Fish and Meat  
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated  
oven. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent  
the cake from dropping. In general:  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature  
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.  
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while  
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with  
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,  
then turn the oven down afterwards.  
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature  
setting.Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place  
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre  
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of  
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury  
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat  
with lard or bacon on the top.  
Cooking Pizza  
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “Pizza Mode”  
w:  
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes  
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack  
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this  
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a  
crispy crust;  
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza  
is cooking;  
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we  
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top  
halfway through the cooking process.  
If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise  
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode b, as the Pizza  
Mode w would heat the bottom rack more than the  
others.
