How To Use Your  Appliance

The various functions featured with the oven are controlled
using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.

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.

Door lock device
Some models are equipped with a “door lock” device situated
between the control panel and the oven door. To open the
door, push down device “A” indicated in the figure.

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.
