LIGHTING THE BURNERS

To ignite the burner:

1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti­clockwise and position the knob sym­bol to the indicator printed on the
control panel (fig. 3.2).

2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains fail­ure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.

3) Adjust the burner according to the set­ting required.

GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the lever of the knob match with
the indicator on the control panel to
obtain:

– symbol : off

– symbol :

full on (nominal rate)

– symbol : reduced rate
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,

rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the lever towards the small flame sym­bol.

The maximum aperture position permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the min­imum aperture position allows slower
warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids (simmering).
Other intermediate operating adjust­ments can be achieved by positioning
the lever between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and off
positions.

ATTENTION: the cooking hob becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the
capacity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:

BURNERS POT DIAMETER

Auxiliary 12 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 24 cm
Rapid 24 - 24 cm
Triple-ring 26 - 28 cm
Wok

(*)

max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

(*): wok pans have to be used only with the spe-

cial grille fitted ( see “correct use of triple-ring
burner”).

Fig. 3.3

It is important that the base diameter of
the pot is at least the same diameter as
the burner ring to obtain an efficient heat
transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the
burners.

GENERAL FEATURES

The multi- function oven can be pro­grammed for 7 different functions to sat­isfy every cooking need.

The 7 positions are thermostatically con­trolled and are obtained by a combina­tion of 4 heating elements which are:

– Bottom element 1400 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2500 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the
oven for 30 minutes in the position and
for another 15 minutes at maximum (tem­perature knob on position 250°C) in the
positions

and

, to eliminate possible
traces of grease on the heating elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI­FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol­lowing ways:

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements.

b. by forced convection

The circular heating element and fan
constantly circulate heated air over the
food in the oven for a more rapid and
even cooking process. It is possible to
cook several dishes simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The irradiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.

Fig. 4.1 Fig. 4.2

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
The light remains on whilst any of the cooking modes are selected.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural
convection and the temperature must be set between 50° C and 250° C.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before adding the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i.
e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.

11

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed

and the temperature knob between 50° and 225°C for 15

minutes, then to position 175°C.
Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one

time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

For correct use see “USE OF THE GRILL”

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and
the temperature must be set between 50° and 250 °C.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e.
lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the temperature knob on “ ” because the other
positions will have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

12

THAWING AND WARMING UP

The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan
is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the
upper element.
The temperature must be set between 50° and 140 °C.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan
then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be set between 50° and
175 °C for max 30 minutes. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Use with the oven door closed.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

For correct use see “GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”.

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.
The temperature must be set between 50° and 250 °C.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external
degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

13

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked, posi-

tioning the rack as close to the grill as
possible.

The drip tray should be placed under the
rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grill with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes

at any one time (Grilling for longer
than the reccomended time may mean
the appliance overheats).

CAUTION: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation. Keep
children well out of reach.

COOKING ADVICE

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is neces­sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-

perature between 180 and 200 °C.

– that the cooking time depends on the

quantity and the type of foods.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position

and

gives simultaneous

cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapors
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.

The only precautions to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the

different foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference of
20° - 25 °C.

– The introduction of the different dishes

in the oven must be done at different
times in relation to the cooking times of
each one.

This type of cooking saves time and
energy.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

Set the switch to position .
Set the temperature knob to 175 °C and
after having preheated the oven, simply
place the food on the shelf.
Close the door and let the oven operate
until grilling is complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end
of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.

Note: It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.

ATTENTION: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

GENERAL ADVICE

– When the appliance is not being

used, it is advisable to keep the gas
tap closed.

– Every now and then check to make

sure that the flexible tube that con­nects the gas line or the gas cylinder
to the appliance is in perfect condition
and get it replaced if it shows any
signs of wearing or damage.

– The periodical lubrication of the gas

taps must be done only by specialised
personnel.

– If a tap becomes stiff, do not force;

contact your local Service Centre.

Important:
Before cleaning or carrying out
any maintenance disconnect the
appliance from the electrical sup­ply and wait for it to cool down.

Attention
The appliance gets very hot,
mainly around the cooking areas.
It is very important that children
are not left alone in the kitchen
when you are cooking.

Do not use a steam cleaner
because the moisture can get
into the appliance thus make it
unsafe.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

Switch the cooker off at the mains.
When the oven is cool, unscrew and
replace the bulb with another one
resistant to high temperatures (300°C),
voltage 230 V (50 Hz), 15 W, E14.

Note: Oven bulb replacement is not
covered by your guarantee.

GAS TAPS

In the event of operating faults in the gas
taps, call the After Sales Service
Department.

ENAMELLED PARTS

All the enamelled parts must be cleaned
with a sponge and soapy water or other
non-abrasive products.
Dry preferably with a soft cloth.
Acidic substances like lemon juice,
tomato sauce, vinegar etc. can damage
the enamel if left too long.

STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINIUM
PARTS AND SILK-SCREEN PRINTED
SURFACES
