“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 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.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some

models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on

automatically when the oven is hot.

When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting

between the oven door and the control panel.

Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the

oven cools down sufficiently.

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.

Setting Normal or Fast Plate

Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups,

For roasting (average)

For roasting (above average)

For browning and reaching a boil in a

short time.

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.

When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or

rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom rack

heights based on whether the dish needs more or less

heat from the top.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case

when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you use

the “convection mode” to reach the desired temperature

as quickly as possible. When preheating is over, which is

indicated by the red light “E” going out, select the

required cooking mode.

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 grid 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.

Baking Cakes

When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do not

open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake

from dropping. In general:

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
