Using the cooker

The various features of cooker may be controlled using the

knobs and buttons located on the control panel.

Warning: before using the oven and grill for the first time,

leave it to heat up for approximately 30 minutes. Check that

the oven is empty, the thermostat is set to maximum, the

door is shut and that the room is well-ventilated. The oven

may emit a slightly unpleasant odour during this time due to

the evaporation of the protective substances applied to the

oven and grill at the end of the manufacturing process.

Warning: Only use the lowest shelf when cooking with the

turnspit (if provided). Never use the lowest shelf for any other

type of cooking, and never place any objects on the bottom

of the oven while it is operating, as this could damage the

enamel coating. Always place cookware (dishes, aluminium

trays, etc.) on the rack provided, ensuring the rack is correctly

positioned using the guide rails inside the oven.

Oven control knobs

The “5-programme” oven combines the advantages of a

traditional “static” oven with those of a modern “fan-assisted”

oven.

The “5-programme” oven is extremely versatile and offers 5

different cooking modes that are both simple and safe. Use

the knobs to select the different cooking functions offered by

the “5-programme” oven.

N - Programme selector knob

M - Thermostat knob

If the selector knob is in any other position than the off position

(marked with “o”), the oven light will illuminate; if the knob is

turned to the position the light may be switched on without

any of the heating elements being activated. The position

marked with the 8 symbol enables the light to be switched on

without any of the heating elements being activated. When

the oven light is on, this shows that the oven is in use; the

light will remain on until the oven is switched off.

“Defrosting” programme

Turn the thermostat knob “M”: to any position

The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-tempera-

ture air around the food. This programme is suitable for

defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that

should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes or cakes

made with custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be

approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or bread,

the process may be accelerated by using the “multi-cooking”

mode and setting a temperature between 80°C and 100°C.

Static oven

Position the thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°C and Max.

This position activates both the top and bottom heating

elements. This is the classic traditional oven that has been

modified to ensure an exceptional level of heat distribution

while limiting the amount of energy consumed. The static

oven remains unsurpassed in the cooking of dishes with

ingredients consisting of two or more elements, which are

combined to make a single dish, for example: cabbage with

pork ribs, Spanish-style dried cod, Ancona-style stockfish,

tender veal with rice, etc... This cooking mode is the best

way of cooking beef or veal-based dishes, for example: braised

meat, stews, goulash, game meat, pork leg and loin, etc...

as these must be cooked slowly, with liquid added regularly.

It is also the best way of cooking deserts, fruit and dishes

that require covered recipients designed for use in the oven.

When using the oven in static mode, use only one shelf (using

more than one shelf may adversely affect heat distribution).

By using the different shelves available, the heat distribution

between the top and bottom of the oven may be balanced as

desired. If a dish requires more heat at the top or bottom of

the oven, use the lower or upper shelves respectively.

Fan-assisted oven

Turn the thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°C and Max.

The heating elements and the fan are activated. Because

the heat is distributed evenly throughout the oven, the air

cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. You may also

cook different dishes at the same time, provided that the

cooking temperatures are similar. It is possible to use a

maximum of 2 racks at the same time, following the

instructions given in the paragraph entitled “Cooking on several

shelves simultaneously”.

This function is particularly suitable for cooking dishes “au

gratin”, or for dishes requiring a reasonably long cooking time,

for example: lasagne, pasta bake dishes, roast chicken and

potatoes, etc... There are substantial advantages to this mode

when cooking roast meats, as the improved temperature

distribution enables lower temperatures to be set, thus

reducing the amount of juices that escape from the meat,

making it less likely to shrink in the oven and more tender to

eat. The fan-assisted mode is particularly useful when cooking

fish, which can be cooked in this way with a minimal amount

of liquid added, therefore maintaining its original taste and

appearance.

Dessert: this mode is completely safe to use when cooking

leavened cakes.

The “fan-assisted” function may also be used for defrosting

red or white meat or bread quickly, by setting the temperatu-

re to 80°C. To defrost more delicate foods, set the temperatu-

re to 60°C or use the cold air circulation by setting the tempe-

rature knob to 0°C.

“Top” oven

Turn the thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°C and Max.

The top heating element comes on.

This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

Grill

Position the thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°C and Max.

The central top heating element and the turnspit will be

activated.

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 surface

temperature: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets,

hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical cooking

advice” section.

Fan-assisted Grill

Position the thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°C and Max.

The central top heating element and the fan will be activated.

This combination of features increases the effectiveness 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, allowing the

heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are

obtained by using the fan-assisted grill to cook mixed meat

and vegetable kebabs, sausages, pork ribs, lamb cutlets,

spicy chicken, sage-dressed quail, pork fillet etc...
