How T o Use Y our Appliance
The various features of cooker are controlled through the
knobs and buttons located on the control panel.
Attention: The first time y ou use the oven we recommend
that you set the thermostat on the highest setting and leave
the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it.
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 never
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 f oil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides .
The Oven Control Knobs
This multi-function ov en combines the advantages of tr aditional convection o v ens 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 5 different cooking
modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob “L” and thermostat “M”
situated on the control panel.
“Defrosting” Mode
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 f ood, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. 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 “multi-cooking” mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and Max .
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 distrib ution 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 , Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,
etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal
or beef-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 baking cakes as well as fruit
and cooking using covered casserole dishes f or ov en baking. When cooking in con vection mode, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be une ven. Using the diff erent 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.
Fan Assisted Mode
Position of thermostat knob “ M”: Between 60°C and Max .
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on.
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven, the air cooks and bro wns food uniformly ov er its
entire surface. With this mode , you can also cook v arious
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 fan assisted 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…
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 f an
assisted 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.
Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect f or 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. To tha w more delicate f oods, set the thermostat to
60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
“Top” oven
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Max
The top heating element and the turnspit 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 leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except
when using the turnspit.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking
Advice” parag raph.
Fan Assisted Grill
Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and 200°C.
The top central heating element and the fan come on. This
combination of features increases the effectiv eness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, al-
28
lowing the heat to penetrate right into the f ood. 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 m ust be done with the oven door shut.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like s wordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
The turnspit
To start the turnspit, proceed as follows:
a) place the oven tray on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special turnspit suppor t on the 3rd rack and
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole
into the turnspit at the back of the oven;
c) start the turnspit using knob “L” to select setting
.
The oven light
Set knob “L” to the
oven and sta ys on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on.
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.
Timer Knob (S)
In order to use the timer, it must be wound by turning the
"S" knob almost one complete turn in the clockwise direc-
tion
lining up the number for the minutes with the mark on the
control panel.
. Then, turning it bac k , set the desired time b y
symbol to turn it on. It lights the

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
you to cook any type of f ood in the best possible 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.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case
when cooking leavened f oods), the “fan assisted ” mode
can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly
as possible in order to sav e 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 the “fan assisted mode”
only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
• 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 foodstuffs that require 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 Grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling
modes.
Use the “grill” mode
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack from the bottom).
T o catch an y fat and/or grease that ma y drip from the rack,
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the energy lev el to the highest setting, ev en though lower le vels
can be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the
desired lev el.
In models fitted with a rotisserie
kit provided when using the “grill” mode . In this case, cook
with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third
oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the
bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat.
Setting
shut, is extremely 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.

, you can use the spit
which is the
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 e xample.
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 dr ipping onto the bottom of
the oven and thus smoke from f orming, place a drippingpan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important: always use the grill with the o ven door shut.
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to
save on energy (appro ximately 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 ray s. However, 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.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly (the red light “O” will turn off). Do
not open the oven door during baking to prev ent 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 lower 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 it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same
cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
30
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan
assisted “
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid
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), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and
4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas
in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10
minutes.

Pratical advice for using the electric plates
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 g rid 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.
The control knobs for the hob electric hotplates (N)
The cookers can be fitted with normal and rapid electric
hotplates in a variety of combinations (the rapid hotplates
can be distinguished from the rest by the red boss in the
centre of the same). T o av oid any heat loss and damage to
the hotplates, we advise you to use pans with a flat bottom,
with a diameter which matches that of the hotplate itself. The
table contains the different settings indicated on the knobs
and the use for which the hotplates are recommended.

Instructions for using the pyr oceram 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 (see Fig. A). Naturally, the thicker the
bottom of the pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat
is distributed.
Fig. A
· Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat
produced (Fig. B)
Fig. B
· Always make sure that the pan base is alw ays 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 b urners may
deform the pan base and will not give the same results
if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.
