During cooking, when using fats or oils, take particular care as they can, when overheated, self-ignite.

Recommended pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster cooking than a narrow one. Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook. Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since these could easily overflow. Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the bottom and burn easily. It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray, making cleaning difficult. Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they are not heat-proof. You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas consumption as in Fig. 1 - b. It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame enough to keep the boiling point.

Gas oven

Ignition

 Open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole in

the bottom as shown in fig. 2;

 push the oven knob in (Fig. 3) and turn it anti-

clockwise until the maximum temperature position is reached;

 keep the oven knob pressed in for approximately 5

seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps

the oven burner lit. If the burner does not light first time, keep the oven door open and wait 1 minute at least before repeating the operation. Once the oven has been lit, adjust the flame as required. To adjust automatically the flame, turn the oven knob to the position corresponding to the temperature desired, after a few minutes of work.

When cooking with the oven, the lid must be kept open to avoid over-heating.

Dripping pan

The oven is equipped with an enamelled dripping-pan which function is to collect the juices dripping from the meat on the grill or on the spit, and a grid for the cooking of foods on the grill or in a pan. In models provided with oven grids with a position catch (fig. 4) and when cooking on the grill or on the spit, you are advised to fit the dripping-pan (A-fig. 4) in the guides beneath the grill (B-fig. 4) to avoid dirtying the oven. if you need to place the dripping-pan over the oven grid during cooking, position it as shown in the particular of Fig. 4.

Electric grill

Press and turn the knob clockwise until the stop position is reached , at the same time the grill control light

will come on. Place the dripping pan under the wire shelf so as to prevent fat from dripping on the bottom of the oven.

While the grill is in function, leave the door half-open and to put the protective screen to the knob (fig. 5).

Cooking with the turnspit

Some models may be equipped with a turnspit. For correct use, proceed as follows:  fit the spit-holder hook on the support (fig. 6);  slide the spit into the food to be cooked and secure

well;

 rest the front part of the spit on the hook, ensuring

that the point of the spit is well inserted into the

rotisserie motor housing (fig. 6);  remove the handle;  turn the oven knob to the grill position or, when

required for some models, turn on the motor by

means of the appropriate switch placed on the

control panel. When cooking with the turnspit you are advised to leave the oven door half open and to fit the knob protection shield as shown in fig. 5.

When using the oven for the first time

When using the oven for the first time:

a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;

b) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes;

c) open a window for ventilation.

During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the grid and the dripping pan.
