The different functions and uses of the oven

The various functions included in the cooker are selected by

operating the control devices located on the cooker 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 dur-

ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances

used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-

stalled.

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.

The oven knobs

With these two controls you can select the different

functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-

re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different

cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:

G - the selection knob

N - the thermostat knob

on the oven panel.

For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified

by the “0”, the oven light turns on; the knob setting marked

permits turning on the oven light without any heating

element being switched on. When the oven light is on, it

means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on for the

entire time the oven is being used.

1. Static oven

- Knob “G” setting:

- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max

The oven light turns on and the top and bottom heating

elements (resistors) switch on. The temperature, fixed by

the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept

constant by the thermostat control. This function permits

cooking and type of food thanks to excellent temperature

distribution.

2. The bottom heating element

- Knob “G” setting:

- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max

The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating

element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob,

is reached automatically and kept constant. This setting is

recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed

in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done

inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require

a light browning on top. Note that this function does not

permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside

for cooking foods always on this oven setting unless the

foods are cakes which only require temperatures below

or equal to 180°C.

3. The Top Heating element

- Knob “G” setting:

- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max

The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill,

and the motor starts turning the spit. The rather high and

direct temperature of the grill permits browning the outside

of meats immediately thus keeping in the juices and

assuring tenderness.

4. The Grill

- Knob “G” setting:

- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max

The oven light turns on and so does the double heating

element of the grill and the motor starts turning the spit.

This grill is larger than the average and has a completely

new design: cooking performance is increased 50%. The

double grill makes sure that even the corners are touched

by heat.

Important: when using the grill, keep the oven door closed

to obtain the best results and save energy (about 10%).

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels

(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent

smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.

Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be

left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between

door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from

overheating.

The rotisserie

To operate the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

a) place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack;

b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 4th rack and

position the spit by inserting it through the special hole

into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;

c) to start the spit, set the oven selection knob (G) on

setting (which delivers 50% of the total grill power)

for small quantities of food, or on setting (which

delivers total grill power).

The oven-operating pilot lamp (L)

Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the

temperature inside the oven reached the temperature

selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on

and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is

operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.

The cook-top electric plate control knobs (I)

The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and

automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast

plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the

centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at

the centre.
