ADVICE FOR USE
Oven cooking
•Turn off your oven 5 minutes before the
foreseen cooking time you will save
power, the accumulated heat will allow
to end cooking;
•The thickness, the conductibility and the
color of pot influences the culinary
results;
•When cooking, certain dishes increase
in volume, choose the pot so that above
the raw mixture remain enough place;
•For preventing fat dripping when
roasting use tall rim pans proportional to
the piece to be roasted;
•Prick the skin of poultry and the
sausage with a fork before cooking to
avoid its blowing up;
•Between the dish and the oven grid
could be put an aluminium foil but not
covering all the grid;
•Use glass heat resisting pans for crispy
and soufflés;
•Add some fat before finishing the
cooking.
Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil. It would result in an
accumulation of heat which might
damage the cooking results and also
damage the enamel.
The cover has to be opened when using
the oven.
Influence of the pots on oven cooking
results
You have to know that:
•The aluminium, the terracotta pots
diminish the browning bellow and
maintains the humidity of the meals. We
advice to use it for pastry, roast meat.
•The enameled cast iron, the tinned pots,
the glass and the heat-proof porcelain,
the pots with non-sticky interior and
colored exterior, increase the browning
bellow and dries the meals. We suggest
to use them for pies and all other crispy
cooking that has to be colored bellow
and above.
Cooking on the hob
Choose always the right pot, proportional to
the burner used.
In case you use a large bottom pot, put it
slight backwards on the plate, so that its
bottom should not outrun the front of the
enameled hob, thus avoiding flame
exceeding and overheating of front panel.
Before covering make sure the hob
is cooled, otherwise the cover could be
damaged.

11
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, check that the
knobs are on “off” position, that the
appliance has cooled completely and
that it is disconnected.
Never use abrasive powder or wire
sponge for cleaning the appliance.
Burners
Clean the covers with warm water and mild
detergent, remove all crust.
Never use vinegar.
The flame splitters have to be kept clean for
ensuring good ignition.
Before igniting make sure the flame splitter
and the caps are properly replaced.
The assembly has to be perfectly dry.
Control panel, knobs, enameled pan
support, cover, front and side panels
For cleaning them use a wet sponge with a
soft detergent, rinse and dry.
Oven Cavity
The enameled oven cavity is best cleaned
whilst the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked
in warm soapy water after each use. From
time to time it will be necessary to do a
more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary
oven cleaner.
Hob
After every use wipe it with a sponge
soaked in warm detergent water, avoiding
leakage through the wholes of the hob.
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
In case of overflowing, wet and leave it
dissolving but do not scratch and avoid use
of abrasive or caustic products that could
damage the enamel.
Wipe immediately the stains of vinegar,
lemon, generally the acid substances.
