How To Use Your Appliance

The various functions featured with the oven are controlled

using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.

Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-

mend 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.

Convection Mode

Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 50°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 distribution and re-

duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still un-

equalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of sev-

eral ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod,

Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Ex-

cellent 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 bast-

ing or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best

system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using

covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in

convection mode, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack

at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Us-

ing the different 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.

Pastry Mode

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

The bottom heating element comes on.

This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -

especially cakes that need to rise because the heat coming

from the bottom helps the leavening process.

Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time for

the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we recom-

mend you use the “Convection Mode” in these cases.

“Top” Oven

Position of 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 of thermostat knob “M”: Max

The top central heating element comes 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 tempera-

ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-

burgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cook-

ing Advice” paragraph.

The oven light

Set knob “L” to the symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven

and stays 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 direction

. Then, turning it back , set the desired time by lining

up the number for the minutes with the mark on the control

panel.

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). To avoid 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.

Before using the hotplates for the first time, you should

heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4

minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage, their

protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum

resistance.

Electric hotplate indicator light (H)

This light comes on when any of the electrical hotplates on a

hob which features electric hotplates have been turned on.
