Instructions for installation

The following instructions should be read by a qualified
technician to ensure that the appliance is installed, regu­lated and technically serviced correctly in compliance with
current regulations.

Important: remember to unplug the appliance from the
mains before regulating the appliance or carrying out
any maintenance work.

Positioning
Important: this appliance may be installed and used only

in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with cur­rent Norms in force. The following requirements must be
observed.
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system

that vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may
consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically
starts each time the appliance is turned on.

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may re-

sult in the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g.
opening windows or increasing mechanical venting (if
present).

d) Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it

is heavier than air . Thus, rooms containing LPG cylin­ders must also be equipped with apertures to the out­side for ventilation of gas in the event of leaks. LPG
cylinders must not, therefore, be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cel­lars, etc.) whether they are partially or completely full.
It is a good idea to keep only the cylinder being used in
the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat
produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder

to above 50°C.
Prior to installing the cooker, 95 ÷ 155 mm high support­ing feet (provided) should be fitted into the holes to be
found in the bottom of the cooker (fig.F). These feet are
screw-adjustable and whenever necessary should be used
to make sure the cooker stands level.

min. 100mm

In a chimney stack or branched flue

(exclusively for cooking appliances)

b)

The room must also have a system to permit proper air circula-

Directly to the outside

tion, needed for combustion to occur normally . The flow of air
needed for combustion must not be less than 3 m3/h per kW of
installed power . The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of
at least 100 cm2; the opening must not be able to be accidentally
blocked. For those appliances not equipped with a safety device
for accidental flame loss, the ventilation apertures must be in­creased by 100%, with the minimum being 200cm2 (Fig. A). The
system can also provide the air needed for combustion by indi­rect means, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation
tubes as described above. Howev er, these rooms must not be
common rooms or bedrooms.

Installation of the cooker

The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable materials. During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of
the cooker , the f ollowing precautions must be taken:
For trouble-free operation of appliances installed in hous­ing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.E should
be observed. Adjacent surfaces and the wall at the rear
should also be able to withstand an overheating tempera­ture of 65°C

a) The appliance can be placed in a kitchen, dining room

or bedsit, but not in a bathroom.
b) Any hoods must be installed according to the require-

ments in the installation manual for the hoods them-

selves.
c) If the cooker is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the

latter must be situated at a minimum of 420 mm above

the hob. The minimum distance between the worktop

and kitchen units made of combustible material is 700

mm (Fig. C and D).
d) The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the

cooker must be made of non-flammable materials.

Gas connecting

The appliance should be connected to the gas mains or to
a gas cylinder in compliance with current Norms in force.
Before making the connection, check that the cooker is
regulated for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow
the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas.” On some models the gas supply
can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary;
to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose
holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (sup­plied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from a
cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with
current Norms in force.
Important: Check that the supply pressure complies with
the values indicated in table 1 “Burner and Nozzle Charac­teristics” since this will ensure safe operation, correct con­sumption and ensure a longer life to your appliance.

Connection with hose

Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with
requirements set forth by the current standards. The inner
diameters of the pipe are as follows:

- 8 mm for liquid gas;

-13mm for methane gas;
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:

• No part of the hose should touch parts whose tem-

perature exceeds 50°C;

• The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;

• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,

and should not have bends or kinks.

• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,

moving parts, and it should not be crushed;

• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in

order to check its condition;
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying with current standards. If
any of the above recommendations can not be followed,
flexible metal pipes should be used.
If the cooker is installed according to the conditions of
Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which is
in compliance with current safety standards should be used
to make the connection to the gas mains.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indi­cated on the data plate. When connecting the cable di­rectly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with
a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appli­ance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit break er should
be sized according to the load and should comply with
current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted
by the circuit breaker). The supply cable must be in such a
position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50°C
above room temperature. Before connecting to the power
supply, make sure that:

• the limiter valve and the domestic system can with­stand the load from the appliance (see rating plate);

• the mains are properly earthed in compliance with cur­rent directives and regulations;

• there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar cir­cuit breaker, once the hob has been installed.

N.B.:never use reducers, adapters or shunts since they
can cause heating or burning.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with
respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (indi­cated on the label attached to the back of the appliance
and to the packaging), follow these steps:
a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with

that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

Warning: The hose holder f or liquid gas is marked 8, the
hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit a
new sealing gasket.
b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

• remove the grids and slide the burners from their
housings;

• unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to
a threaded attachment

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical
male attachment. Only use pipes and gaskets complying
with current standards. The full length of the pipe m ust not
exceed 2000 mm.

• Replace all the parts, following the steps described
above in the re verse order .

c) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:

•

turn the tap to minimum;

4

Instructions for installation

• remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw , which
is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is
small but steady.
N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw
must be screwed in all the way.

• check that the flame does not go out when you turn the
tap quickly from high to low.

d) Regulating the primary air of the burners:
The primary air of the burners does not need to be regu­lated.

Warning

On completion of this operation, replace the old rating
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used, which
can be found in the nozzle kit provided.

Note

Should the pressure of the gas used be different (or vary)
from the recommended pressure, it is necessary to fit a
suitable pressure regulator onto the inlet pipe in compli­ance with current National Regulations relative to “regula­tors for channelled gas”.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise
the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public waste
collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if
national legislation allows return it to a retailer when
purchasing a similar new product.

All major household appliance manufacturers are active in
the creation of systems to manage the collection and
disposal of old appliances.

This appliance conforms with the following European
Community directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low V oltage) and subsequent
amendments;

HOB
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)

The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the

knobs is shown by a solid ring •. T o light one of the burners, hold

a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time,
press down and turn the corresponding knob counter clockwise

to the maximum setting . Each burner can be operated at its
maximum, minimum or intermediate power . Shown on the knob

are the different symbols for off • (the knob is on this setting

when the symbol corresponds with the reference mark on the
control panel), for maximum and minimum .

To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter clockwise with
respect to the off position. T o turn off the burner , turn the knob

clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the • symbol).

Electronic Ignition for the Gas Cooktop

To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob all the
way in and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum keeping it

pressed down until the burner lights.

Warning: Should the burner flames accidentally go out, turn
off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying
to re-light.

Models with Flame Failure Device

These models are identified by the presence of a flame detec­tion device (see detail H).
Important: since the top burners are equipped with a safety
device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for
about 3 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety ther-
mocouple is heated.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in
mind:

• use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so

that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the
cookware;

• only flat bottom cookware should be used;

• at the boiling point, turn the knob to minimum;

• always use a lid with the cookware.

OVEN:
The

7 Cuochi

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 “L” situated on the control panel.

Warning: 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 o ven 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.

“Demo Mode” disabled

If the message “DEMO ON” appears on the display, place
the knob “L” in the 0 position and then press keys “1” to “6”
in sequence to bring the kitchen back into operating mode.

Setting the digital clock

The time can only be set on the clock when knob “L” is in
position 0.
After connecting to the electricity mains or after a power fail­ure, update the time by holding down k e y “2” until the time
appears on the display again and then adjust using the keys

Instructions for use

Timer Feature

Please remember that 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 key “2” a nd adjust using key s
and/or t. The n icon 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 b utton whatsoever .
N.B.: When the display is on “end”, the timer may not be
set.

The oven light

It can be turned on/off at any time with the oven turned
off, simply by pressing b utton “1” or by opening the door .
It always remains on during cooking.

Cooling ventilation

In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the
oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that 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: In “F ast cooking” and in “Baking” mode , the fan comes

on automatically only when the oven is hot.
Warning: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which
detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter
by messages such as “Er xy” (xy=numerical code be­tween 01 and 99). In these cases, you need to call for
technical assistance as the oven is faulty.

How T o Use Y our Oven

Note: When the oven door is locked (for example, right
after a F AST CLEAN programme has been completed), it
is not possible to start cooking due to the high tempera­ture inside the oven. The display will indicate this status
by means of the word “HOT”. You will only be able to cook
again once the “key” symbol has gone off.
Turn knob “L ” to select the desired cooking mode.
The oven will immediately start the pre-heating phase,

during which the icon m will flash on the display , and the
cooking temperature 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 “M”.
Once pre-heating is complete, three consecutive beeps will

sound and the icon m will come on permanently. Now you
can place the food to be cooked inside the pre-heated oven.

Note: the F AST COOKING and GRILL modes do not include
a pre-heating phase.
Please remember that you can always do the following when
cooking is under way:

• change the cooking mode b y t urning knob “L”;

• change the temperature by turning knob “M”;

• programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see
paragraph entitled “Programming the cooking mode”).

• stop it at any time by setting knob “L” bac k to 0.

• to set the timer

Warning: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf
of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping

s

onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when
using the rotisserie (only available on certain models). F or all
other types of cooking, never use the bottom rack 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.

Convection Mode

Position of thermostat knob “M”: 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 beef- or veal-based dishes as
well: braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.,
which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addi­tion of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for
cooking pastries as well as fruit and cooking casseroles
in the oven. 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.

Multi-Cooking Mode b

Position of thermostat knob “M”: 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”.

This cooking mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring
considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for
example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and
potatoes, etc… Moreo ver, 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 of the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is especiall y
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. T o
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.

8

Instructions for use

Grill d

Position of thermostat knob “M”: 50%, 75%, 100%.
The top heating element and the turnspit (where present) come
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 closed
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cook­ing Advice” paragraph.
Note: turn knob “M” and the display will indicate the 3 dif­ferent energy percentages which represent the minimum
(50%), medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) re­spectively.

Gratin e

Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The top heating element, the fan and the turnspit (where
present) 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 ov en. 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.,
by setting the maximum temperature to 200°C
The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna,
swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

“Fast cooking” Mode v

Position of thermostat knob “ M”: 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 the “F ast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical
Cooking Advice”.

“Defrosting” Mode U

Position of thermostat knob “M”: 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 des­serts, fruit sweets. 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 “multi­cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.

Pizza Mode w

Position of thermostat knob “ M”: 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 ov en 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. pizzas and large
roasts. Only use one dripping pan or rack at a time. Howe ver,
if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway
through the cooking process.

Baking Mode u

Position of thermostat knob “ M”: 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…..

If the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below
a value that is too low , the appliance comes with a system
that allows you to resume cooking/pyrolysis from the point
in which it was interrupted at the time of the black-out.
Remember that this function will be disabled if the knobs
“L” and “M” are turned during the power f ailure. Once the
cooking/pyrolysis has been completed, remember to up­date the time if you want to .

NOTE

Please bear in mind that, for safety reasons, cooking/py­rolysis programmes waiting to start are not restored when
the power comes back on.

Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function

When the fast clean function has been enabled, the
temperature inside the oven reaches 500°C, which is
necessary to burn all food residue that has built up inside it.
If you look through the oven glass, you may notice some
particles that light up as they are destroyed by pyrolysis
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply
spontaneous combustion: it is perfectly normal and hazard-

free.
A few useful tips before automatic cleaning begins

1- Try to remove large scr aps of food and caked-on dirt with

a damp sponge. Avoid using detergents or an y other special
products recommended for oven cleaning.
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven, as these are
not designed to withstand such high temperatures. In addition,
some accessories could affect the efficiency of the automatic
cleaning cycle by obstructing the circulation of heat along all
the interior walls of the oven. The accessories can easily be
washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

3- Do not place tea towels over the oven handle.

Warning: during the automatic cleaning cycle, the surfaces

may become very hot. Keep children away from these.

How to enable the fast clean function
– Shut the oven door .

– Set the selector knob to V
– To programme the fast clean cycle time and/or cycle

end time, follow the instructions provided in the para­graph entitled “Fast clean programming”. Please note
that you can choose a cycle time of between 60 and
120 minutes, depending on the degree of soil in your
oven.

Safety devices

Given the high temperatures reached inside it, the oven is
fitted with several safety devices:

• the door is locked automatically as soon as the tem­perature exceeds a certain value, to avoid all risk of
burns;

• the heating elements are no longer electrically pow-
ered, as a precautionary measure, should a fault oc­cur.

10

Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function

• Once the oven door has been locked, you cannot make
any changes to the cycle time and cycle end settings.

• If the temperature in appliance’ s electrical component
area has reached a safe value, it is not possible to
start the “Fast clean” cycle. The word “HOT” will appear
on the display. Wait for the cooling fan to switch off
before restarting the “F ast clean” progr amme.

What happens at the end of an automatic cleaning
cycle?

At the end of the automatic cleaning cycle, the word “end”
is displayed and an acoustic signal is sounded, which can
be silenced just by pressing any one of the buttons . Turn
knob “L” to the “0” setting and the word “end” will disappear .

Fast clean programming

The fast clean cycle time and/or cycle end time can be
programmed after selecting the fast clean mode, and within
the 10 first minutes of operation..

Programming the fast clean cycle time

Time

s

To open the oven door, y ou will hav e to wait until the tem­perature inside it has dropped to a suitable value.
You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and
sides of your oven; remove them with a damp sponge once
the oven has cooled down completely.
You may on the other hand pref er to tak e advantage of the
heat accumulated to start cooking immediately; in this case
the dust can stay where it is: it is completely harmless and
will not affect your food in any way.

Warning: to maximise the efficiency and life of the
appliance, we recommend that automatic clean is carried
out with the hob off.

Practical Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
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 personal experience.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook food using several racks, use either
the “pastry” mode u or the “Multi-cooking mode” 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 “pastry” mode uwhich allows you to cook on 3 racks

at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th). Some examples
are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

When cooking other food on several racks, use the “Multi-
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;

Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode

Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use
pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or pre­cooked food) along with other food items . You will find use­ful suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

cle time in accordance with the degree of soil in your
oven;

5 you see ventilated air exiting the oven for a while when

cooking is complete: it is due to the normal cooling
phase of the oven interior;

6 when using the “grill” mode, the top heating element

isn’t always on (red in colour): its operation is control­led by a thermostat;

7 a blast of hot steam exits the oven when you open the

door during cooking;

8 drops of water or steam form inside the oven if you

leave food inside the oven after cooking is complete;

Using the Grill

The “7 Cuochi” oven offers you several different grilling
modes..

Use the “grill” mode d, with the oven door closed, plac-
ing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the

3rd or 4th rack from the bottom).
T o catch any f at and/or grease that may drip from the rac k,
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the energy
level to the highest setting, even though lower levels can
be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the
desired level.

The e“Gratin”, only with the oven door shut, , is ex-
tremely 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.
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 dripping­pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.

Important: always use the “Gratin” 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. Ho we v er ,
this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures,
simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.

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.

Practical Cooking Advice

Baking Cakes

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:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or low er the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too da rk 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 the temperature, and increase the

cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle i t with a dus ting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the sam e
cooking point

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the w “pizza
mode”:

• 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.

Cooking Fish and Meat

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.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

coperchio

guarnizione

lampadina

cavità

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the
electrical supply . T o ensure that the appliance stands the

test of time, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently , k eep­ing in mind that:

••

• do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance

••

• the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels, where

present, 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 flame spreaders should be washed frequently with

hot water and detergent, taking care to eliminate any
scale;

• In cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the termi-

nal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should
be cleaned frequently (C) and the gas outlet holes on
the flame spreaders should be checked to make sure
they are free of any obstructions;

• 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, rinse and dry thoroughly. It is also recom­mended that any remaining drops of water be dried;

• On models with glass covers, the covers should be

cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or
abrasives is to be avoided

N.B.: A void closing the cover while the gas b urners
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid be­fore opening it.

Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose

and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year .

Replacing the oven light bulb

• Before any operation, disconnect the hob from the elec­trical supply by pulling out the plug or using the switch
that connects the oven to the electricity mains.

• Using a narrow , thin object (screwdriver , spoon handle,
etc.), remove the glass lid.

• Remove the lamp and replace it with one that has the
same properties:

- V oltage: 230/240 V

- power 15W

- E 14 cap

• Replace the glass cover taking care to position the seal
correctly .

Gas tap maintenance

The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.

N.B.: This procedure must be performed by a techni­cian authorised by the manufacturer .
