Cooking modes
!
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL
programme, for which only the MAX power level is
recommended.
!
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.
The different cooking functions are set up by operating
the two knobs: the selection knob and the thermostat
knob. For any selection-knob setting different from
idle, identified by the “0”, the oven light turns on; the
knob setting marked
8
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.
STATIC OVEN
Thermostat 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.
BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENT
Thermostat 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.
TOP HEATING ELEMENT
Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and 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.
GRILL
Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and 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.
! 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
! When using the grill, the oven door must be left partly
open by positioning the deflector between door and
panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.
The oven-operating pilot lamp
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 hotplate pilot lamp
This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.
