The different functions and uses of the oven
The various functions included in the cooker are selected by
operating the control devices located on the cooker control
panel.
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 about 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.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using
the rotisserie to cook (where present). F or all other types of
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and ne ver place anything
on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because
this could damage the enamel. Alwa ys place your cookware
(dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with
the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperature suitable for the food you are preparing. The different
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:
G - the selection knob
N - the thermostat knob
on the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting diff erent from idle, identified
by the “0”, the o ven light turns on; the knob setting marked
permits turning on the oven light without any heating
8
element being switched on. When the oven light is on, it
means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on f or the
entire time the oven is being used.
1. Static oven
- Knob “G” setting: a
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max
The oven light turns on and the top and bottom heating
elements (resistors) switch on. The temperature, fixed b y
the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept
constant by the thermostat control. This function permits
cooking and type of food thanks to e xcellent temperature
distribution.
2. The bottom heating element
- Knob “G” setting: y
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max
The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating
element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob,
is reached automatically and kept constant. This setting is
recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed
in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done
inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require
a light browning on top. Note that this function does not
permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside
for cooking foods always on this oven setting unless the
foods are cakes which only require temperatures below
or equal to 180°C.
3. The grill
- Knob “G” setting: F
- Knob “N” setting: 180°C
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ra y grill.
The rather high and direct temperature of the grill permits
browning the outside of meats immediately thus keeping
in the juices and assuring tenderness.
4. The double grill
- Knob “G” setting: d
- Knob “N” setting: 180°C
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating
element of the grill. This grill is larger than the average
and has a completely new design: cooking performance
is increased 50%. The double grill makes sure that even
the corners are touched by heat.
Important: When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the
lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat
and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom
rack lev el.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must
be left partly open.
Caution: Accesible parts will become hot when the
grill is in use. Children should be kept away.
The oven-operating pilot lamp (L)
Signals when the oven is heating. It s witches off when the
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature
selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on
and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is
operating correctly to keep the oven temper ature constant.
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (I)
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at
the centre.
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.
Table shows the correspondence between the position
indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates
advised.

Cooking advice
The oven off ers a wide range of alternatives which allow
you to cook any type of food in the best possib le wa y . 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 o wn personal experience.
Baking cakes
The oven should alwa ys be warm before putting in cak es
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cakebaking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the tem peratur e by 10°C and r educ e the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the t emperat ure b y 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower t he tem perat ure, and incr ease
the cooking time.
Cooking fish and meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spilltray underneath to catch grease drips. Inser t the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.
T o grill
When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended
that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting,
as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which
utilizes infrared rays). If necessary , ho we v er, the
thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling.
When using the grill functions, place the grid on the
lower racks (see cooking tab le) then, to pre v ent fat and
grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and
smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st
oven rac k from the bottom.
Important: when using the grill, the o ven door m ust
be left partly open. Table 1 includes the
recommended temperatures, cooking times and
positions for you to obtain the best results when
cooking.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker fr om the
electricity .To assure the long life of the cook er, it must be
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
· the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still
warm;
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
Replacing the oven lamp
· Unplug the oven from the mains;
· 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
characteristics::
- V oltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- T ype E14
· Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.

The catalytic self-cleaning system
Some models have oven liners coated with a porous
enamel also known as catalytic enamel.
When hot, this enamel destroys all greasy f ood particles.
For this "oxidation" to occur, the oven liners must reach a
temperature of at least 170°C. The porosity of the catalytic
enamel increases its surface area, thus making the
oxidation process more effectiv e.
When cooking is done, should some grease and food
particles remain on the oven liners, leave the appliance
on with nothing in it and the door shut, with the tempera-
ture knob on the maximum setting, for 60-90 minutes ,
depending on the degree of soil. You can remove large
amounts of grease using hot water and a soft brush.
Attention: catalytic enamel is very strong, but
nonetheless, avoid:
- scratching the enamel with sharp objects (i.e. a knif e),
- using abrasive detergents or products to clean it,
otherwise you will destroy the enamel's self-cleaning
properties.
The enamel will not be damaged by the accessories
(shelves, tra y , rotisserie set). Do not be concerned if white
marks appear on these accessories where they come into
contact with the enamel surfaces.
