How To Use Your Appliance

The various features of cooker are controlled through the
knobs and buttons located on the 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). For all other
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel. Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.

N.B.: Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic
programmer, to use the electric oven, just press buttons

V and
on the display) before selecting the desired cooking

function.

Door lock device (only present on some models)
Some models are equipped with a “door lock” device
situated between the control panel and the oven door. To
open the door, lift up device “A” indicated in the figure.

The Oven Control Knobs

The “7 Programms” oven combines all the advantages of
traditional “static” ovens with those of modern “ventilated”
ones.
The”7 Programms” oven is extremely versatile and offers
7 different but sure and easy ways of cooking. Use the
knobs to select the different cooking functions available
on the “7 Programms” oven:

L - selector knob;
M - thermostat knob.

When the selector knob is on any other setting than that
identified by the “o”, the oven light turns on. The setting

identified by the
oven light on without having any of the oven heating ele-

ments on. When the oven light is on, it means that the
oven is in use, and it will remain on for the entire time the
oven is being used.

1.Convection Mode

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
On this setting, the light comes on and the top and bottom
heating elements are activated. This is the classic, tradi­tional type oven which has 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, stews, etc. Excellent results are achieved when pre­paring meat-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 still remains
the best system for cooking pastries and fruit in general
and when using specific covered containers for oven cook­ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip­ping-pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven. Select from among the various
rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or
less heat from the top or bottom.

2. Pastry Mode

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50° and Max
The fan will start and all of the heating elements will turn
on. This provides a delicate heating process with a preva­lence of heat from the bottom. This mode is ideal for bak­ing and cooking delicate foods - especially pastries that
need to rise because the heat coming from the bottom
helps the leavening process. Some advice:

• Always preheat the oven;

• Never place more than one dish in the oven at a time;

• The rack (unless cooking directly on the dripping-pan)

should be used because it allows for better air circula­tion; In any case, do not leave unused dripping-pans in
the oven;

• Position the rack at the third or second height from the

bottom in order to take full advantage of the heat rising
from the bottom of the oven; Place the pastry pan in
the centre of the rack;

• Do not open the door when cooking pastries in order

to prevent rapid temperature changes that could im­pede the cooking process and make the pastry drop.

3. Pizza Mode

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven
due to the large amount of power used by the appliance
(2700 W), which results in the production of considerable
heat coming prevalently from the bottom and from forced
air circulation. The pizza mode is ideal for foods which
need high temperatures to cook, like pizza and large roasts.
Use only one dripping-pan or rack at a time. However, if
more than one is used, they must be switched half way
through the cooking process.

6

4. Ventilation Mode

7. Ventilated Grill

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max

Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven due to the fan at the bottom, 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

A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the

same.
same time, following the instructions in the section enti­tled, “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This cooking
mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require
an extended cooking time like lasagne etc...
Moreover, 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 for the roast. The
ventilated mode is especially 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 also be attained when cooking veg­etable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the venti­lated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw
meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°­100°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
50°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.

5. Top element

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
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 high tempera­ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, filets,
hamburger etc...

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
This combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating ele­ments through forced air circulation of the air throughout
the oven. This helps prevents foods from burning on the
surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. Ex­cellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats
and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail,
pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish
steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn on (where
present). Cooking with this function is especially recom­mended for meat dishes such as loins, poultry, etc….

Note: When using the grill (features 5, 6, 7), the oven
door must be closed.

Thermostat Light (O)

This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set­ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature
at a constant level.

Attention

Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very
hot during the cooking.

The rotisserie

To operate the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

a) place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 4th rack and

position the spit by inserting it through the special hole
into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;

c) to start the spit, set the oven selection knob (L) on

setting

6. The “Grill”

- Position of the “L” knob:

- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max

This oversized grill has a completely new design, increas­ing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill also elimi­nates pockets of unheated air in the corners of the oven.

Important: Always leave the oven door closed when
using the grill setting n order to achieve the best results

and save on energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack heights
(see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath
the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bot­tom of the oven.

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.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case

when cooking leavened foods), the
(setting three) can be used to reach the desired tempera­ture as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most ap­propriate cooking mode can then be selected.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same

time, use only setting 4,

the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
The rack heights used should be the three centre ones,
as the bottom and top racks receive too much direct heat,
which could burn more delicate foods. If three racks are
used at the same time, the food on the middle rack will
take a little longer to cook. Therefore, leave it in the oven
for an additional few minutes. If you are preparing a com­plete meal with all three racks at the same time, place the
dish that calls for a lower cooking temperature (generally
pastries) on the middle rack.

Using the Grill

The oven allows you to use two different grilling methods.

Use the no. 5 setting

portions. Energy consumption for this feature is only 1200
W; however, it is ideal for grilling small dishes or portions,
e.g. toast, frankfurters, etc.

Place the food in the centre of the grill, as only the
centre of the heating element is turned on. Food in
the corners of the oven will not be cooked.

The no. 6 setting

entire surface area of the grill itself. Use this feature when
you have food distributed uniformly beneath the grill and
you want it to be browned evenly.

Important: Always leave the oven door closed when
using the grill setting n order to achieve the best re-

sults and save on energy (about 10%).
When using the grill settings, it is recommended that the
thermostat be set to maximum, as this is the optimal set­ting for the grill, which utilizes radiation produced by infra­red rays. However, this does not mean that lower tem­perature settings cannot be used when necessary by sim­ply turning the control knob.
When using the grill, place the rack at the 4 rack heights
(see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath
the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bot­tom of the oven.

“ Grill” allows you to grill along the

“pizza mode”

foods at the end of the cooking process.
When using this function, 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 dripping-pan on
the 1st rack from the bottom. When using this function to­gether with the spit (only on some models), you can also
cook dishes on the dripping-pan situated on the 1st rack, for
example: potatoes, etc…….

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven af­ter it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the
oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red “O” light will
turn off). The temperature is normally around 160°C. Do
not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to
prevent it from dropping. Batters must not be too runny,

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 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 the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In general:

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use setting 3
“The Pizza Oven”:

• Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes;

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the broiler

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 of four), it is

recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed

on top halfway through the cooking process.

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 spill-tray 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,

heating elements. They only become red after being turned
on for 10-20 seconds.

Instructions for using the pyroceram top

To obtain the best results from your hob, there are some
basic rules to follow when cooking or preparing food.

• All types of pots and pans may be used on the ceramic
glass cooktop. However, the bottom surface must be
perfectly flat. Naturally, the thicker the bottom of the
pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat is distributed.

• Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat
produced

• Always make sure that the pan base is always dry and
clean so as to guarantee proper contact as well as
longer-lasting pans and the long life-span of the hob.

• Do not use the same pans which are used for cooking
on gas burners. The heat strength of gas burners may
deform the pan base and will not give the same results
if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.

Pratical advice for using the electric plates

The cook-top electric plate control knobs (N)

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.

The green pilot lamp (Q)
