person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Never place unsteady or deformed pans on the burners or on the electric hotplates as they could overturn accidentally. When
placing pans on the hob, always ensure that the handles are facing inward so that there is no risk of knocking against them.

Installation

Electric

ILVE stoves, wall ovens and cooktops feature many advanced
cooking components and safety refinements. However before
using your oven for the first time the following installation
check must be carefully carried out and oven elements must
be burnt in.

• Check that your ILVE installer has screwed the oven into its

cavity and that all packaging is removed from inside oven.

• Check that all oven racks are in place.

Burning in elements

It is necessary to burn the protective oils that are used in
manufacturing and shipping from the elements.

1 Set the clock to the correct time. Refer to page 18.

2 Remove the grill tray and set oven temperature control

knob to 200º C and select cooking function mode 2 by
turning function control knob.

3 Allow to burn in for 10 to 15 minutes.

4 Repeat process for functions 5 and 8 in sequence and

allow to burn in each mode for 10 to 15 minutes.

5 Wipe the base of the oven once completing the burn in

process so that the oven and grill/rotisserie will be ready for
use. Refer to page 22.

• There may be a slight unpleasant odour during the initial

burn off procedure. As a result we advise you open doors
and windows in the kitchen during this procedure.

Preparing your electric
oven for use:

Setting the clock

To enable use of your ILVE oven you
must first set the clock to the correct
time. If the clock is not set correctly the
oven will not operate (See page 24)

Using the oven

When using your ILVE oven you must
select, using separate knobs, both a
mode of cooking and a temperature
at which to cook. The only exception
to this rule is when using the defrost
mode, where no temperature setting
is required.

Temperature is indicated by an
ORANGE light. This light will turn
on and off during cooking as the
thermostat readjusts itself.

Cooking mode selection is indicated by
a GREEN light. This light should stay
on throughout the cooking process.
All ILVE ovens are fitted with a cavity
cooling fan. This fan is thermostatically
controlled and automatically switches
on when the oven cavity reaches 60ºC.
This gently blows air out through the
front louvre just above the oven door
handle, reducing outside heat. This
fan will continue to operate for a short
period of time after you stop using the
oven

Temperature

ILVE ovens are well insulated and

therefore highly efficient; as a result we

recommend you may have to adjust
cooking temperatures. In an ILVE
oven a moderate to hot temperature is
175ºC. You will find this temperature
will not need to be exceeded, except
for specific cooking requirements
which call for high heat over a short
period of time. Exceeding 175ºC when
cooking may result in food cooking too
quickly on the outside while remaining
undercooked inside. Remember to
reduce the temperature by 20ºC when
using the fan forced function.

Oven Systems

10 ILVE Operating Manual

All ILVE electric ovens are multifunctional and feature up to eleven cooking modes. This enables you
to choose from a variety of functions depending on your cooking needs. Selection of the correct mode
and oven temperature are important to obtain the best possible cooking results. All modes are pictured
on your control knob and are numbered clockwise.

ILVE electric ovens are equipped with rear, top and bottom elements, which can be used individually or

together; radiating heat from above and below simultaneously or individually for specialist tasks such

as au gratin style cooking, crisping pork crackling or to brown off a roast.

The ILVE electric oven also has a quick start or preheat mode which allows the oven to heat from

0 –175ºC in just 6 to 8 minutes.

Cavity cooling fan

ILVE ovens are equipped with a cavity cooling fan. The fan is thermostatically controlled and will
switch on automatically when the oven cavity reaches a temperature of 60º C. Air will gently be
blown out through the front louvre, just above the oven door handle. This keeps the interior of the
cavity housing cool.

The cavity cooling fan will continue to run after the oven has been turned off. The fan will automatically
shut off once the oven cavity has reached a suitable temperature.

Electric Oven Cooking Modes

ICON MODE FUNCTION

ILVE’s unique Pizza mode has been specifically designed for you to cook the perfect Pizza
To achieve perfect results; turn the oven thermostat up to 250 degrees (best temperature

MODE 1
Pizza mode

for pizza cooking) ILVE’s pizza mode will do the rest by turning on all elements in the oven

at 30% and the bottom element on at 100% of their capacity. This ensures you get a
nice crispy base with the assistance of the other elements at lower heat to cook the top

of your pizza. For best results it is recommended that ILVE’s pizza stone be used on the

second shelf when using this function.

MODE 7

Fan Assist

This is the traditional static oven mode with no fan allowing heat from both above and
below to convect simultaneously. This is the ideal function for cooking heavy cakes such
as mud cakes or banana cakes, Christmas cakes, breads and large roasts. Such items
need to be placed on shelf number 2.

This mode allows heat from the base of the oven. It is suitable for long, slow
cooking such as stews and casseroles or for blind baking and finishing pastries.

In this mode the upper outer element is in use. This permits ‘Au Gratin’ style cooking for a
firm crust.

In this mode the complete inner roof element heats up creating direct infra-red heat from
above. With this mode you should grill with the door closed.

The rotisserie mode works in a similar way as traditional grilling and is one of the best
ways to cook meat and poultry. With a right hand side motor drive in the oven, or in the
rear of the 300mm & 400mm ovens. The ILVE rotisserie can accommodate up to two
joints of meat or portions of poultry at once.

This mode utilises the fan combined with the infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated
evenly around the oven. This is the ideal mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops
and sausages on the top level whilst baking a potato bake on the lower level. The door
should be closed during this grilling mode.

With both the top and bottom elements in use and the fan circulating hot air,
this cooking mode is best suited for bread, cakes, pastries and sponges, where very even
temperatures are required, even in the corners of the oven.
This mode also creates less splatter when roasting.

Please note: To turn the oven light on or off during cooking,
simply push in the oven control knob.

The fan in all ILVE ovens is surrounded by a triple ring heating element that
evenly distributes heated air throughout the oven. This mode is perfect for batch baking

biscuits or muffins and most general cooking tasks. IMPORTANT – Ensure you reduce the

temperature by 20°C. Mode 8 is also the self-cleaning mode in models, which have self
cleaning liners.

To obtain the best result from your oven it is recommended that you preheat it prior to
use. Combining an advanced hot air function and conventional heating mode ILVE ovens

can reach a temperature of 175°C in just 6 – 8 minutes. Once preheated the required

cooking mode should be selected before proceeding with cooking.

This function allows you to fan defrost at an ambient temperature.
Unlike defrosting using your microwave this mode does not dry or par-cook food.

Some ILVE models are equipped with a microprocessor controlled roasting probe which
can be used to cook roasts to a precise finish either rare, medium or well-done, taking the
guess work out of cooking.
