Recommended pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one. Always use pots which
properly fit what you have to cook. Particularly make
sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since
these could easily overflow. Moreover, the pans should
not be too large for a faster cooking. In fact, grease
and juices may spread on the bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking
cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar
leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult. Avoid putting plastic-handled
pans in the oven as they are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 2 (see also the "Table of
minimum and maximum pan diameter").
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.

When using the oven for the
first time
When using the oven for the first time:
a) set the oven knob to and the thermostat knob to
"max";
b) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes;
c) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool
down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth
soaked in warm soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
oven accessories.
Turn the switch to the position .
In this function, the electric ventilator fans cold air inside
the oven, which begins to defreeze food. When the
cooking selector switch (Fig. 3) is placed in position
regulate the thermostat (Fig. 4) to position l.
When cooking in the oven or grill, always
leave the appliance's lid open, in order to
avoid overheating.
Thermostat control light (°C)
Once the oven temperature has been selected, the
temperature light will come on and remain on until the
oven has reached the correct setting; after that, it will
go on and off with the thermostat, showing how the
temperature is being maintained.

Oven accessories
Depending on the models, the oven can be equipped
with the following accessories:
-an enamelled dripping-pan, whose function is to
collect the juices dripping from the meat on the grill
or on the spit,
-a grid for the cooking of foods on the grill or in a
pan.
-a baking tray, a special tray used for baking cakes,
biscuits and pastry.
Mechanical minute-minder
Some models are equipped with a mechanical minute
minder.
The minute-minder can be set for a maximum time of
one hour.
To set the minute minder: turn the knob (fig. 5) to the
maximum time position, then turn it back to the required
time.
Once the pre-set time has elapsed, an acustic alarm
will be heard which automatically cuts out.
Things to note: the minute minder will not affect in
any way the oven operation, if it is in use.

Suggestions for gas burners
Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the knob
to the symbol . Then adjust the flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside
(nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame should lick
the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean a waste
of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not require
flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom and
spread the heat all over the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners. However,
thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food more
quickly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom,
the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it
is advisable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating as it
allows sufficient thermic compensation.
Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow pans are more
suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a
faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing
narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste
of gas. For a proper usage, place small pans on small
burners and large pans on large burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption.
Suggestions for using the oven
Traditional cooking
As heat originates from top and bottom, dishes should
preferably be placed in the middle. If cooking requires
more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or
lower level.
Fan cooking
also cook on only one level. In this case, it is advisable
to place the dish on the lower level for better cooking
control.
This oven is particularly suitable for defreezing rapidly,
sterilizing preserves, homemade jams and, finally, for
drying mushrooms and fruit.
Heat is transmitted to dishes by hot air forcibly circulated
inside the oven by a fan placed at the back of the oven.
By this method, heat is quickly and evenly circulated
throughout the oven, permitting several different dishes
to be cooked at the same time on two different levels
(Fig.6).
With this cooking method, through the elimination of
humidity in the air and a drier environment, smells and
tastes are not given off and do not mix with those of
other dishes.
Thanks to this possibility of cooking on several levels,
you can cook up to three different dishes at the same
time, to be consumed immediately or frozen. You can
