The various functions featured with the oven are controlled
using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.
Notice: Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
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 60°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 60°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 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
How To Use Your Appliance

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
up the number for the minutes with the mark on the control
panel.
The turnspit (only on a few models)
To start the turnspit, proceed as follows:
a) place the oven tray on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special turnspit support on the 3rd rack and
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole
into the turnspit at the back of the oven;
c) start the turnspit using knob "L" to select setting
, set the desired time by lining
.
