Roast meats and poultry will cook faster. Use of a meat thermometer will help avoid overcooking. 140° - 450°F CONVECTION OVEN COOKING FAN/BAKE Single tray 300° - 350°F with cookie sheets CONVECTION OVEN COOKING ON TWO TRAYS SIMULTANEOUSLY Double trays PRESS TWICE FAN/BAKE with cookie sheets BAKED GOODS: Select one or two wire racks with cookies sheets depending upon the quantity. Baked foods (cakes, pies, cookies, etc.) may require a lower temperature to prevent overbrowning (see page 13) Bake casseroles, pizza fruit desserts, fish, stuffed vegetables, puddings and other moist foods that don't require browning and crisping. Always use the broiling rack set in the shallow pan. Place it on the wire shelf in position that puts the food about two inches from the top element, more for thick food such as chicken. Foods such as hamburgers, steaks, kebabs, sausages are to be placed directly on the broiling rack. Use the broil settings to top-brown open-face sandwiches, cheese toppings, hors d'ouevres. Some breads, muffins, etc. will take longer than others. Reset dial if results are too light. Place the bread to be toasted following instructions on page. 16.

Do not hold food more than an hour or reheat cold food. If not hot enough for serving turn temperature dial up. DEFROSTING DEFROST To thaw frozen food in freezer packaging place it on wire shelf or on shallow pan to catch any juices. Do not try to thaw large roasts or allow any food to overthaw (see page. 17). Place prepared food on the dehydrator kit (if provided) without covering shelves with plastic food wrap. The fan and low heat will dry food in 8 to 14 hours. Consult a book on drying foods for treatment of various foods. DEHYDRATING DEHYD 1.5 - CORRECT WIRE SHELF POSITIONS slot 2 slot 1 ONLY for dehydrating (1) (2) (3) 7 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 8 GENERAL 1.6 - INSTALLATION 1 1) Check that the appliance has not suffered any damage due to transportation. 2) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface out of the reach of children (the glass door becomes very hot while the oven is in operation). 3) Before using this appliance, move it two to four inches away from the wall or any object on the counter top. Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance. Do not use on surfaces where heat may be a problem. 4) Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min.). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping from the factory. 5) When a function is started, the pilot light B turns on. 1.7 - IMPORTANT TIPS AND TECHNIQUES POSITIONING THE WIRE SHELVES: There are two slots on the sides of the oven. Slide one or both shelves into these positions. The upper shelf can be turned over, allowing three different levels. The recipes will suggest the best arrangement (1 to 3; see page 7) where necessary for best results. The shelf reversed in slot 1 must be used only with the dehydrator kit L (optional). ACCESSORIES AND UTENSILS The shallow pan H is designed to permit the circulating heat to surround the food (except for the bottom surface) more effectively. Use it as you would any shallow baking or roasting pan. Other utensils you own can be used provided that an inch or so of space remains open to allow circulation of the fan-forced heat. Casserole covers should not be used and glass ovenware should not be placed closer than two inches from the upper heating element. The cookies sheets F provided must also be centered on the shelf. When using both sheets on two wire shelves, place wire shelves in position 1 and 3. Use handgrip (if fitted) to bring the wire rack out of the oven when it is hot. Cookie sheet Shelf PREHEATING THE OVEN To pre-heat the oven, press the required function (BAKE, FAN/BAKE, BROIL) and set the desired temperature (only for BAKE and FAN/BAKE). After having pressed START, if no duration has been set, the display will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 1:00 (one hour). On reaching the set temperature, the control will emit 3 times 3 beeps. The ON light (2) will stay on. USE ALUMINUM FOIL Do NOT allow foil to touch sides of the oven or the heating elements. Foil can be used to cover foods or the shallow pan (for easier clean-up) provided foil is tucked in securely around the food or the edges of the pan or dish. DO NOT cover the broiling rack as this can cause accumulated grease to catch fire. DO NOT cover the crumb tray (E). Unlike an ordinary toaster-oven, the DE'LONGHI features 8 functions: convection and traditional baking and roasting, toasting, broiling, keeping food warm, defrosting frozen foods and even dehydrating sliced fruits for nutritious snacks. 8 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 9 USING THE CONTROL AND SETTING THE MODES 2.1 - SETTING THE CLOCK 2 · When the appliance is connected to the domestic power supply for the first time, or after a power out,four dashes will appear on the display (--:--).

This system, used in many large commercial ovens for years, produces more even browning and cooking of baked foods, meats and poultry. The forced air also displaces the layer of cold air surrounding the food, allowing faster cooking in many cases or a lowering of temperature. In general, meats and poultry can be cooked in less time (a meat thermometer will help to prevent overcooking). Cakes, pies, cookies, etc. can be baked at a lower temperature (see charts and recipes). BAKE mode is used when browning and crisping are less important or undesirable. Use it, following conventional recipes, for casseroles, stuffed vegetables, fish, lasagna, fruit tarts, cheesecakes and other moist mixtures. IMPORTANT 2 We recommend cooking chicken, roasts and small fowl directly on the broiling rack resting on the dripping-pan (see fig. on the left) to avoid fat spattering onto the sides of the oven and dripping onto the bottom. See the following sections for further details. CONVECTION BAKING OF CONVENIENCE FOODS Many convenience foods can be successfully baked or heated by convection on the FAN/BAKE mode. In general, follow the package directions for temperature and time. However, lower the temperature by 25°F. for more even cooking of larger items, frozen foods (except waffles and pancakes) and packaged casserole mixtures. There is such a wide choice of convenience foods on the market and variations in packaging, quantities and initial temperatures (frozen, refrigerated and shelf temperature) that it's best to follow the package instructions. Check the food 5 to 10 minutes before the time is up; you may need to adjust the time and/or temperature for best results. Here are some tips for different types of convenience foods: - If directions call for placing the food container on a metal pan or cookie sheet to avoid spills or to aid even cooking, use the shallow pan provided. Use it or the cookie sheets provided for foods, such as rolls, cookies, turnovers or frozen French fries, breaded fish or chicken pieces, that are placed directly on a pan or cookie sheet. - Some frozen foods come in "oven-proof" plastic or paper containers which can be cooked in a microwave oven and, within limits, a conventional oven. Be sure to follow directions for maximum baking temperature. The container can melt or scorch if too high a temperature is used. To be on the safe side, set the oven 25°F. lower than the recommended temperature. - When baking packaged mixtures (such as scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, brownies, corn bread, coffeecake and cake mixes) check the package directions for recommended sizes of pan, casserole or dish and the proper baking times for each. A 9-inch round or an 11/7 - by 11/2 inch rectangular pan will fit in the oven with room on all sides for air circulation. Layer cake mixes can be baked one layer at a time in a 8- or 9-inch round pan or all of the batter in a 3inch deep 9-inch round bundt or spring-form pan. CONVECTION OVEN COOKING ON TWO TRAYS SIMULTANEOUSLY This special function is designed to produce perfect results when using two trays to bake delicate food items such as cookies, brownies, cakes, pies etc. (see additional notes on page 13). The function is accessible by pressing the FAN/BAKE button twice until you see displayed. Please note, this function is programmed to cotrol temperature, so only the baking time can be adjusted. This function is programmed to control temperature, so only baking time can be adjusted. Follow the full set of instructions as outlined below. The oven should always be pre-heated.
