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 temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too da rk on t op
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, l ower the temperature, and increas e the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkl e it wit h a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
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. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking t ime.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from
the electricity .To assure the long life of the cooker, it must
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
· 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 flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any
scale;
· in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the
terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes
of 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, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
• On models with glass covers, the covers should be
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or
abrasives is to be av oided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before
opening it.
Important: per iodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year .
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.
Greasing the taps
The taps may jam in time or they ma y become difficult to
turn. If so , they must be cleaned internally and the grease
replaced.
N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer .
Removing the lid
The cooker lid can be remov ed to f acilitate cleaning. To
remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it
upwards (see figure)
