Instructions for use
The different functions offered by the oven are selected
by operating the controls and devices situated on the oven
panel.
Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time,
turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make
sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the
door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor
which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation
off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill
during the period between the and installation of the
appliance.
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:
E - the selection knob (identified by the symbol
)
F - the thermostat knob (identified by the symbol
) 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.
1. Coventional
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: anywhere between 60°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. Pastry
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: anywhere between 60°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 grill
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: Max
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill.
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 double grill
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: Max
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating
element of the grill. 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.
The oven-operating pilot lamp (G)
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.
Handle
Attention: when the oven is on steam escapes from the
slot on the right end of the handle. Keep hands away from
this area. For ovens with tubular handles, there is a special
protective device which is fitted during cooking to keep
steam away from the front of the cooker.

Forced Air Ventilation
In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven,
some models have been equipped with a cooling fan which
comes on when the "E" knob is turned to a cooking setting.
The fan remains on during the cooking process and a flow
of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the
control panel.
Note: When cooking is over, the fan remains on for a few
minutes, in order to enable the oven to cool down quickly.
3rd glass-door
You can buy a special kit to reduce door temperature when
the oven is on and save energy. If there are little children
in the house, this kit is a must. The kit code number is
074657 and it may be purchased for installation from an
authorised dealer or a Technical Assistance Service centre
indicated in the list included with the appliance documents.
