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.

Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)

The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the

knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:

the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.

Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-

clockwise direction to the maximum - setting. Each burner

can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate

power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off

(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the

reference mark on the control panel), for maximum - and

minimum

To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise

with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the

knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the

symbol).

Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob

Some of the models are provided with instant electronic

lighting of the hob gas burners; these models are identi-

fied by the presence of a lighting device (see detail J).

This device operates when a slight pressure is applied to

the "T" button marked with

burner just press the button labelled "T" while pushing the

corresponding knob all the way in and turning it counter-

clockwise until it lights. For immediate lighting, first

press the button and then turn the knob.

Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go

out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute

before trying to relight.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to

Prevent Leaks (only on certain models)

These models can be identified by the presence of the

device itself (see detail K).

Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a

safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about

6 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the

gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

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:

L - the selection knob

M - 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 "L" setting:

- Knob "M" 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 "L" setting:

- Knob "M" 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 "L" setting:

- Knob "M" 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 "L" setting:

- Knob "M" 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
