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 recommend 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.

The oven knobs

With these two controls you can select the different functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperature 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates, recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter. Table shows the correspondence between the position indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates advised.

Setting Normal or Fast Plate
0	Off
1	Cooking vegetables, fish
2	Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups, chickpeas, beans.
3	Continuing the cooking of large quantities of food, minestrone
4	For roasting (average)
5	For roasting (above average)
6	For browning and reaching a boil in a short time.

Before using the hot plates for the first time, 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.

The green pilot lamp (H)

This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.

Timer Knob

To use the timer, wind the ringer "M" by turning the knob one full turn clockwise; then turn it back to the desired time so that the number of minutes on the knob matches the reference mark on the panel.

Attention

Avoid children touching the oven door because it is very hot during cooking.

! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot.

Warning: never place hot containers or items and flammable materials inside the dishwarmer drawer.

Storage recess below the oven (only a few models)

Below the oven, a recess can be used to contain cooking pans and cooker accessories. Moreover, during oven operation, it may be used to keep food warm. To open the storage, turn it downwards.

Caution: this storage recess must not be used to store inflammable materials.

Cooking advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives that allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time, you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance, and the following directions are only a guideline that may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Baking cakes

The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes; wait until the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake-baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C. Do not open the oven door during the baking process as this could cause the cake to sink. In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.

Pastry dropped

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

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl, and fish, use low temperatures (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C) for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point. Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time should be. Place the

meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below is required, use the 1st bottom shelf.

To grill

When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling. When using the grill functions, place the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). Table 1 includes the recommended temperatures, cooking times, and positions for you to obtain the best results when cooking.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity. To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed with warm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
• The inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;
• The electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they are still warm. Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;

Replacing the oven lamp

Unplug the oven from the mains; remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder; remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics: voltage 230V, wattage 25W, type E14. Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains.

Removing the lid

The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it upwards (see figure)
