Hob burners
ILVE’s triple ring high intensity burner
is a high speed, high temperature
burner rated at 19.4 Mjh. It has a
broad diameter to provide even heat
across a maximum surface area of a
wok or frying pan allowing for cooking
efficiency and elimination of localised
hot spots which can cause burning
and sticking.
ILVE’s conventional high efficiency
medium burners are rated at 10 Mjh,
while the small burners are rated at
5 Mjh and have a range of precision
temperature settings from low simmer
to medium and high. ILVE’s elongated/
fish burner trivet is rated at 15 Mjh
and is great for steaming or grilling
on ILVE’s griddle plate. ILVE’s multi
fuel hobs are equipped with the usual
combination of conventional gas
burners with gas wok burner but can
also be equipped with a variety of
specialised hotplates.
Low simmer
A low simmer can be achieved by
selecting a temperature between the
off position and the high flame position
on the selector knob. This feature
is available on all ILVE models. This
feature allows an accurate and safe
simmer and complete control over the
height of the flame.
Trivets
ILVE’s cooktop trivets are designed to
provide exceptional stability for even
the largest woks, frying pans and pots.
The trivets are easily removable for
cleaning (See page 20).
Volcanic rock
barbecue grill
ILVE’s volcanic rock electric barbecue
grill is a low profile, 3cm deep, large
dimension barbecue which features 12
temperature settings. Meat, poultry and
seafood chargrilled on the barbecue
grill remain succulent and moist while
developing subtle smoky flavours. The
volcanic rock barbecue grill is easily
disassembled for ease of cleaning.
Rangehoods
A complete range of designer
rangehoods are available for all ILVE
stoves and cooktops, please consult
your ILVE dealer for further details.
Griddle plate
Optional cast iron griddle plates are
available for ILVE cooktops. The griddle
plates fit over the centre fish burner on
80, 90, 120 and 150cm cooktops. For
all other models the griddle plates fit
on the wok burner. Please consult your
ILVE dealer for further details.
Pizza stone
This is a flat clay pizza stone and is
available from ILVE for those cooks
who like to make cakes and pastries,
bake bread and make home made
pizzas. This pizza stone fits onto any
shelf in the oven and comes with its
own ideas booklet.
Safety flame
failure device
All burners on ILVE cooktop and
freestanding upright models, excluding
the Maxi and the Compact series of
gas cooktops, have a unique safety
flame failure device. This feature
instantly stops the flow of gas to a
burner, if that burner is extinguished
for any reason. You will need to hold
the gas control knob in firmly once it
lights for 10-15 seconds to override the
thermocouple.
ILVE stoves, wall ovens and cooktops feature many advanced
cooking components and safety refinements. However before
using your oven for the first time the following installation
check must be carefully carried out and oven elements must
be burnt in.
• Check that your ILVE installer has screwed the oven into its
cavity and that all packaging is removed from inside oven.
• Check that all oven racks are in place.
Rack positions
ILVE ovens are equipped with
various racks depending on the
model and size; all ILVE wire
racks are reversible. They have
angled offset ends to allow
for height variation between
shelves; this is a particularly useful feature when cooking with
deep dishes, for large roasts or when batch cooking.
Burning in elements
It is necessary to burn the protective oils that are used in
manufacturing and shipping from the elements.
1 Set the clock to the correct time. Refer to page 18.
2 Set oven temperature control knob to 250º C and select
cooking function mode 2 by turning function control knob.
3 Allow to burn in for 10 to 15 minutes.
4 Repeat process for all seven cooking modes (2 through 8)
in sequence and allow to burn in each mode for 10 to
15 minutes.
5 Clean the oven thoroughly when you have completed the
burn in process so that the oven and grill/rotisserie will be
ready for use. Refer to page 20.
• There may be a slight unpleasant odour during the initial
burn off procedure. As a result we advise you open doors
and windows in the kitchen during this procedure.
Cavity cooling fan
ILVE ovens are equipped with a cavity
cooling fan. The fan is thermostatically
controlled and will switch on
automatically when the oven cavity
reaches a temperature of 60º C. Air
will gently be blown out through the
front louvre, just above the oven door
handle. This keeps the interior of the
cavity housing cool.
Cooktop
ILVE’s gas burners feature high
thermal efficiency, economical
energy consumption and precision
temperature settings, allowing you
to not only have total control over
cooking temperatures but instant
response in temperature changes
and automatic ignition. All ILVE
cooktops meet the highest standards
of operational efficiency required
for approval by the Australian and
European Gas Association.

be placed on grill grid inside a grill tray
alternatively; meat can be placed on a
wire oven rack positioned over an oven
pan to make sure any drips are caught.
Controlling smoke
and splatter while
grilling
When grilling items such as sausages
or fatty meats it is advisable to add
1 cup of water to the grill pan to
control, drips, splatter and smoke.
Rotisserie mode
1. Insert rotisserie skewer into small
opening on right side of oven wall
cavity.
2. Leave oven door closed.
3. Turn grill function knob to
temperature variance of your choice
(1 – 12).
• Refer to page 28 for cooking
methods in your gas oven.
MODE 5 Full roof area conventional
grilling mode
In this mode the inner roof element
heats up creating direct infra-red heat.
This mode allows you to grill with the door
closed. Grilling with the door open ajar may
lead to the control knob heating up slightly.
MODE 6 Hot air grilling system
This mode utilises the fan combined with the
infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated
evenly around the oven. This is the ideal
mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops
and sausages on the top level whilst baking
a potato bake on the lower level. The door
must be closed during this grilling mode.
There are two ways to grill food in an ILVE electric oven;
by using radiant heat to cook the food or by using thermal
grilling, a combination of radiant heat with thermal air flow.
The full roof area conventional grill system uses
automatically controlled direct infra-red heat radiated
from above for traditional grilling applications. ILVE ovens
combine the advantages of infra-red heat with fan forced
air assistance, allowing grilling on three levels at the
same time.
Both cooking techniques give exceptional results for a
wide range of meat cuts such as chicken breasts, beef
steaks, lamb and pork. It is also ideal for grilling fish and
fish fillets.
Traditional grill
1. Select the grill mode (Mode 5) on the
function control knob.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to
250º C.
The oven heating indicator light at the
front control panel comes on when
the thermostat is energised and turns
off once it has reached the selected
temperature setting.
Fan grilling
1. Position racks at heights according
to food types and thickness (See hot
air grill cooking guide)
2. Select the fan grill mode (Mode 5) on
the function control knob.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to
175º C.
4. Allow oven to preheat for a minimum
of four minutes depending on food
types (See hot air grill cooking
guide).
When fan grilling on multiple shelves
the oven door must be closed. The
grill element at the top of the oven
produces intense heat to sear the
surface of the meat while the fan
moves this heat around the oven.
Fan grilling eliminates the need to turn
food over during the grilling process;
however, turning is optional depending
on the degree of browning desired.
When using this function make sure
that food is elevated to allow the hot air
to circulate around the food. Food can

ILVE TIP
• The oven door should always be
closed during hot air grilling.
• The temperature should be set
from 175 – 180º, this range in
temperature helps prevent food
from burning and avoids splatter,
minimising the need for cleaning.
• The shelves are numbered 5 to
1 from top to bottom
(See diagram above right).
• ILVE’s fan grill system can be
used to cook on multiple shelves,
for example grilling meat on top
shelf, lasagna on middle shelf,
garlic bread on bottom shelf, while
warming plates on the bottom of
the oven.
ILVE TIP
• When conventional grilling
the oven door should always
be closed
• The best settings for conventional
grilling is between 175 – 190º C.
• Care must be taken to make sure
that there is at least 8cm between
the top of items being grilled
and the grill element to allow for
unimpeded circulation of hot air
(shelf 5).

13ILVE Operating Manual

Preheating
Always preheat your ILVE oven to at
least 175ºC before placing food in it.
To do this use the Quick Start mode
(Mode 9) on your control knob. Set
your oven to 250ºC, after the oven has
reached temperature, indicated by the
temperature light turning off, you may
then switch the oven to your required
mode.
Tip: Set the oven timer to 8 minutes to
alert you when the oven has reached
temperature.
Roasting probe
ILVE’s premium models are equipped
with a microprocessor controlled
roasting probe which can be used to
cook roasts to a precise finish. The
probe is thermostatic and is inserted
into the thickest part of the roast away
from the bone. When the probe is
fitted to the connection point, the
thermometer activates.
By pressing the + or –
buttons you can program
the probe to the desired
temperature for the roast
(to reset remove the
probe from oven).
Roasting guide:
• Rare 55 degrees
• Medium 65 degrees
• Well-Done 75 degrees
If the meat is left in the oven an alarm
will sound and the oven will turn off
when the desired temperature
is reached.
All ILVE electric ovens are multifunctional and feature up to
eleven cooking modes. This enables you to choose from
a variety of pre-set functions depending on your cooking
needs. Selection of the correct mode and oven temperature
are important to obtain the best possible cooking results.
All modes are pictured on your control knob and are
numbered clockwise.
ILVE electric ovens are equipped with both top and bottom
elements, which can be used individually or together;
radiating heat from above and below simultaneously or
individually for specialist tasks such as au gratin style
cooking, crisping pork crackling or to brown off a roast.
By recessing the upper roof element and extending the
cooking shelves to the rear of the oven, ILVE has created
an oven interior which on average is 30% larger than ovens
of similar style. These design features mean that more
cooking space is available, so large roasts or four to five
racks of food can be cooked easily.
The ILVE electric oven also has a quick start or preheat
mode which allows the oven to heat from 0 –180ºC in just
6 to 8 minutes.
Preparing your
electric oven for use:
Setting the clock
To enable use of your ILVE oven you
must first set the clock to the correct
time. If the clock is not set correctly the
oven will not operate (See page 18)
Using the oven
When using your ILVE oven you must
select, using separate knobs, both a
mode of cooking and a temperature
at which to cook. The only exception
to this rule is when using the defrost
mode, where no temperature setting
is required.
Temperature is indicated by an
ORANGE light. This light will turn
on and off during cooking as the
thermostat readjusts itself.
Cooking mode selection is indicated by
a GREEN light. This light should stay
on throughout the cooking process.
All ILVE ovens are fitted with a cavity
cooling fan. This fan is thermostatically
controlled and automatically switches
on when the oven cavity reaches 60ºC.
This gently blows air out through the
front louvre just above the oven door
handle, reducing outside heat.
Temperature
ILVE ovens are well insulated and
therefore highly efficient; as a result we
recommend you may have to adjust
cooking temperatures. In an ILVE
oven a moderate to hot temperature is
175ºC. You will find this temperature
will not need to be exceeded, except
for specific cooking requirements
which call for high heat over a short
period of time. Exceeding 175ºC when
cooking may result in food cooking too
quickly on the outside while remaining
undercooked inside.

There are a four
cooking options
available with
ILVE gas ovens:
1. Static Gas Oven
2. Fan Forced Gas Oven
3. Rotisserie
4. Electric Grill
Cooking in your
gas oven
To use the gas oven open the door
fully and select your mode of cooking,
either static or fan forced. To do this
you must turn the knob numbered
1 - 12 clockwise. By turning the knob
clockwise and clicking it past 12, the
fan-forced function is turned on. You
can re-adjust the intensity of the grill
element between 1 and 12. If the knob
is not clicked past the 12 the oven will
stay in static mode. Once you have
selected a mode of cooking, the light
will go on in the oven.
Now press the thermostat knob gently
and turn it anticlockwise towards
maximum temperature position
(250°C.). Press the thermostat knob
right in to prime the electric ignition
and keep pressing it for 10 - 15
seconds to allow the thermocouple to
heat up and let the gas through. Make
sure that the gas has lit and, after three
minutes, close the door, then select the
temperature (from 100°C to 250°C)*.
Electric grill
To use the electric grill in the gas oven
turn knob numbered 1 – 12 clockwise
to the grilling icon (A) then adjust
the thermostat knob to the required
temperature.
Rotisserie
Still using the grill function, this
function is also used as a rotisserie in
all ovens (except 60cm). For example
chicken, duck, beef and lamb can
be spit roasted at temperatures up
to 225°C. Vegetables can be also be
placed in the baking tray whilst using
the rotisserie to add flavour to them.
Selecting the ventilated
gas or electric function
(For models with a VENTILATED GAS
oven) Turn the knob (pictured top
right) to position 12 and then turn it
past position 12 as far as it will go in a
clockwise direction. This starts up the
radial fan which is located inside the
oven and provides forced ventilation
during cooking. To start the fan electric
grill apply the same steps as above.
*NOTE: the electric grill will not work
whilst the gas oven is in use.
ICON MODE FUNCTION
MODE 1
Pizza mode
ILVE’s unique Pizza mode has been specifically designed for you to cook the perfect Pizza
To achieve perfect results; turn the oven thermostat up to 250 degrees (best temperature
for pizza cooking) ILVE’s pizza mode will do the rest by turning on all elements in the oven
at 30% and the bottom element on at 100% of their capacity. This ensures you get a
nice crispy base with the assistance of the other elements at lower heat to cook the top
of your pizza. For best results it is recommended that ILVE’s pizza stone be used on the
middle shelf when using this function.
MODE 2
Conventional oven
mode
This is the traditional static oven mode with no fan allowing heat from both above and
below to convect simultaneously. This is the ideal function for cooking heavy cakes such
as mud cakes or banana cakes, breads and large roasts. Such items need to be placed
in a central position in the oven. Mode 2 is also the self-cleaning mode in models, which
have self cleaning liners.
MODE 3
Lower floor heating
mode
This mode allows heat from the base of the oven. It is suitable for long, slow
cooking such as stews and casseroles or for blind baking and finishing pastries. This
mode is also perfect when using the ILVE Pizza Stone, for perfect pizzas cooked directly
on the stone in a wood fired fashion.
MODE 4
Upper element
mode
In this mode the upper element is in use. This is ideal for finishing omelettes, browning
dishes such as cauliflower au gratin or finishing off lemon meringue pies or flans whose
base has been previously baked using another mode.
MODE 5
Conventional Grilling
mode
In this mode the complete inner roof element heats up simultaneously creating direct
infra-red heat from above. With this mode you should grill with the door closed.
Rotisserie mode
(All models except 600mm
and P70 Series ovens)
The rotisserie mode works in a similar way as traditional grilling and is one of the best
ways to cook meat and poultry. With a right hand side motor drive in the oven, or in the
rear of the 300mm & 400mm ovens. The ILVE rotisserie can accommodate up to two
joints of meat or portions of poultry at once.
MODE 6
Hot Air Grilling
mode
This mode utilises the fan combined with the infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated
evenly around the oven. This is the ideal mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops
and sausages on the top level whilst baking a potato bake on the lower level. For best
results the door should be closed during this grilling mode.
MODE 7
Convection
heating mode
With both the top and bottom elements in use and the fan circulating hot air,
this cooking mode is best suited for bread, cakes and sponges, where very even
temperatures are required, even in the corners of the oven.
This mode also creates less splatter when roasting.
MODE 8
Advanced
hot air mode
The fan in all ILVE ovens is surrounded by a triple ring heating element that
evenly distributes heated air throughout the oven. This mode is perfect for batch baking
biscuits or muffins or for that large Christmas cake which requires low temperature
cooking over a long time period. Mode 8 is also the self-cleaning mode in models, which
have self cleaning liners.
MODE 9
Quick Start
or Pre-heat mode
To obtain the best result from your oven it is recommended that you preheat it prior to
use. Combining an advanced hot air function and conventional heating mode ILVE ovens
can reach a temperature of 180°C in just 6 – 8 minutes.
Once preheated the required cooking mode should be selected before proceeding with
cooking.
MODE 10
Defrost mode
This function allows you to fan defrost at an ambient temperature.
Unlike defrosting using your microwave this mode does not dry or par-cook food.
Roasting probe
(For models 948 Series,
600SSXMP & Majestic
Series only)
These ILVE models are equipped with a microprocessor controlled roasting probe which
can be used to cook roasts to a precise finish either rare, medium or well-done, taking the
guess work out of cooking.

may also need to wipe the door and
inner glass if they have a lot of splatter
on them.
Leave the oven with the door closed
and in this time the fat absorbed in the
catalytic liners will burn off the liners
and the elements.
Once the oven is cool you may need
to wipe the base of the oven with a
damp sponge to remove the product
of the burn off. Every six months you
must wash the side liners to ensure
longevity.The side liners can be washed
in hot soapy water and are to be dried
before placing them back in the oven.
If you clean the enamel in your oven it
is essential that you use a non caustic
cleaner and spray that cleaner onto
a soft cloth rather than spraying the
cleaner directly into the oven.
The fat filter at the rear of your oven
has to be cleaned on a regular basis;
the filter can be cleaned by hot soapy
water, or in the dishwasher
3. Removal of door &
inner glass
For ease of cleaning ILVE have made
their oven doors removable so that
the interior oven glass can be removed
and cleaned.
All ILVE ovens use easy clean vitreous
enamel interiors giving a smooth black
non staining appearance.
A. Removal of door
Open the door and lift catches (A) and
hook into arm (B) on both sides. Lift
door gently upwards (C), as if closing,
using both hands placed either side of
the outer glass edge and door should
loosen. Gently pull the door up towards
you, if force is needed the door is not
in the correct position and you will
need to repeat the procedure. To refit
the door reverse the procedure.
B. Removal of inner glass
ILVE oven doors are fitted with
athermic door glass panels, the inner
panels are removable. To remove
glass open the door and unscrew the
thumb screws (D&E) located on the top
of door, remove top strip and gently
remove glass (F&G) before washing in
hot soapy water. The interior glass can
also be cleaned with a damp cloth.
When replacing the glass it is important
that the silver coated surface faces in
towards the interior of the oven and
that the top strip is replaced before
screwing the glass back in place.
Please note: The oven door glass
must be replaced the same way it was
moved with the tint facing the inside of
the oven.
1. Before you start
As a safety precaution always
switch off the power to the oven
before commencing any cleaning or
maintenance. Never use abrasive
scourers or spray any chemical
oven cleaners or caustic solution on
the catalytic oven liners as this may
cause damage, wash instead with
soapy water.
When removing oven shelves you must
slide shelf out to the stopper using
both hands before lifting front of the
shelf up and sliding out. To replace
shelves do the reverse of the above. It
is advised that you wear oven mitts or
heat protective gloves if oven has been
turned on.
2. Catalytic self
cleaning liners
Every ILVE oven (with the exception of
the 200LM, 600LM and 800LM models)
has catalytic liners. These have been
pre-installed in your ILVE oven to
make your life easier. As you cook the
liners will absorb any fat that splatters
keeping your oven cleaner. There can
be four liners in your oven; one on
either side, one on the rear and one
on the roof of your oven. Only the side
liners are removable.
To maintain your oven you must
regularly do a self clean to remove
the fat absorbed in the liners during
the cooking process. This may be
weekly, monthly or yearly depending
on oven usage. Fat build up is
easily distinguishable by a slight
discolouration of the liners.
To do a self clean; you must at the end
of the cooking process turn the oven
thermostat to 250 °C on fan forced
heating system for 10 - 20 minutes.
Always ensure that you remove excess
trays (be aware as oven racks & trays
will be hot), side racks and the fat filter
as any fat will burn on these items
making cleaning extremely difficult. You

ILVE’s exclusive turbowave cooking system means lower
and more accurate cooking temperatures and a reduction in
cooking time and food splattering. These advances in oven
design and technology means that ILVE ovens require less
cleaning when compared to other ovens.
The introduction of the catalytic oven cleaning system
and removable racks and door glass means that the once
torturous task of cleaning your oven has become simplified. It
is important to note that regular cleaning will keep your oven
looking good and operate better for an extended time.
To maintain your oven you must do a self clean on a
regular basis, approximately every three to four months
of normal usage.

IMPORTANT: Always
use non-caustic
cleaners on ILVE
products
The above products are
recommendations only. ILVE will
not be held responsible for any non
ILVE product.
Cooktops
Clean the stainless steel cooktop
surface after each use with a clean
cloth and normal detergent. Make
sure the detergent does not contain
chloride or any chloride compound. For
persistent stains use warm vinegar or
a non-abrasive cleaner. If you need to
polish a cooktop surface use a metal
polish such as Auto Sol.
To make cleaning easier always
wipe spills when they occur, do not
leave them to dry as this makes
cleaning harder.
Trivets
Trivets should only be cleaned once
they have cooled, to stop grazing from
occurring. To clean trivets wash in
sink with warm soapy water then dry
immediately using a clean dry cloth.
Do not use anything too abrasive such
as a chrome detergent as this may
cause damage.
Enameled trivets may over a period of
time discolour, this is due to exposure
to a naked flame which may burn the
enamel edge off the tips of trivets.
This will not affect the performance of
the cooktop
Important information
There are three components to a
burner; a cap, brass burner and
aluminium skirt. The cap is a cosmetic
piece and is not necessary during the
operation of the cooktop. It is advised
that you remove the cap during usage
then replace after usage.
Burner caps
The burner caps sit on the brass
burners to clean remove and wash in
warm water. Burner caps should not be
put into cold water immediately after
use, as grazing will occur, always allow
caps to cool before cleaning.
Brass burners
The brass burners will tarnish to a
brown colour with use. To clean simply
wash in warm soapy water or soak
in white vinegar overnight to remove
food splatter.
Aluminium skirts
The aluminium skirt from the base of
the burner may be washed in warm
soapy water using a gentle scouring
pad to remove any burnt on food
splatter. A commercial product such as
Autosol, which is designed for cleaning
aluminium, can be used following
makers’ instructions. Do not put skirts
in the dishwasher as this may cause
the aluminium to discolour.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel can be cleaned using
the ILVE cleaning cloth available from
ILVE or a range of commercial products
and stainless steel cleaners. Follow
makers’ instructions, taking care when
cleaning around the graphics.
Never use abrasive products on the
stainless steel as it will scratch the
stainless steel.
Teppanyaki plate
Allow the teppanyaki plate to cool
slightly and apply a commercial
product such as Mr. Muscle Orange
Energy. Allow to sit for five minutes
then scrape plate with a flat spatula.
For heavy build up a scourer may
be required.
Ceran cooktops
When using a ceran cooktop it is
advised to only use stainless steel pots
with stainless steel bases. The bottom
of the pan must be thick and fat and as
close in diameter to the cooking zone
as is possible. The surface of the hob
and the bottom of the pan must be
kept clean.
The flat surface of the ceran makes
it easy to maintain. All cleaning must
occur when the cooktop is cold. When
cold use a soft damp cloth to wipe
over the cooktop and then dry gently.
For a more precise clean a specialty
cleaning product may be purchased
from an outlet, never use abrasive
products.
Take care not to drop substances
containing sugar on the hob, if this
does happen clean with warm water
immediately before the glass cools.
Oven light replacement
Replacement globes are available from
the ILVE service department. When
changing over the lamp always switch
off the power first. Unscrew the glass
cover over the globe by twisting it
anticlockwise. If glass cover is hard
to unscrew, heat oven slightly, as
this will heat any fat that might be
congealed around the glass, and
unscrew using a cloth.
Remove existing globe and fit new
bulb, refit the glass cover and switch
on the power.
Ignition troubleshooting
All ILVE burners have automatic
ignition. To ignite a gas burner simply
push the knob in and turn to the left.
Ensure that the aluminium skirt and
brass burner are sitting flush and that
they are locked into each other.
Check that the gas has been lit. If
the burner fails to ignite or stay alight
repeat process. If the burner still fails
to ignite a match may be used with
caution. If your cooktop has flame
failure it will take 8 to 10 seconds for
the flame to stay alight. If the problem
persists call ILVE in your capital city for
service. (Contact numbers are located
on the back cover of this booklet)

Steaming
Steaming is the ideal way of cooking
vegetables, particularly green leaf
vegetables.
Place a small quantity of water, usually
no more than one cup, into a saucepan
with a tight fitting lid. Place on a burner,
on high heat and bring to the boil, then
add well rinsed vegetables and cover
with the lid. Do not allow the pan to
dry burn.
If you use a steaming rack which holds
vegetables above the boiling water you
can steam two or more vegetables at
once in the same pan.
Braising
Braising is done in the lower part of
the oven (Mode 8) and is great for
tenderising cuts of meat and
creating dishes such as braised
steak and onions.
Rotisserie
The rotisserie is one of the best ways
to cook meat. The rotisserie can
accommodate up to three joints of
meat or portions of poultry at once.
Meat cooked this way will need
approximately 40 to 50 minutes per kilo
at a temperature of 180 to 200°C. This
is a guide only; it is recommended that
meat is checked every 30 minutes.
Deep frying
For deep frying use the triple ring wok
burner on the cooktop or ILVE’s Domino
deep fryer. Remember to bring the
cooking oil to the correct temperature
before adding the food to be cooked.
Oil will begin to give off smoke when it
is hot enough to commence cooking.
To check the oil temperature put
in a single item. If the test item is
immediately surrounded by a ring of
bubbles the oil is hot enough to start
cooking. Extreme care must be taken
when frying on cooktops.
Pizza stone
You can use the pizza stone for both
pizzas and sweet pastries.
The pizza stone can also be used for
keeping your bread warm and crusty,
just buy a good loaf of bread, warm in
the oven and serve on the pizza stone.
This section serves as a guide to choosing the most appropriate
cooking method for all categories of food preparation. Get to
know the full range of features your ILVE appliance has to offer.
Wok cooking
Stir-frying is the technique most
associated with wok cooking. The
idea behind traditional wok cooking
is to cook thin strips of meat quickly
over a high heat which sears and seals
the meat, rather than stewing it. This
technique retains the meat juices,
flavour and tenderness. Vegetables and
sauces are added to finish the dish.
The specially designed trivets on
the ILVE wok burner are designed to
accommodate curved bottomed woks,
while the triple ring burner provides the
high heat needed to quickly sear meat
and achieve the best results.
Pan frying
Pan frying is a popular and quick
way of frying thin cuts of meat and
vegetables in butter or oil. This should
be done over a high heat so that food is
seared and browned.
ILVE TIP
Always pat dry wet food with
paper towel before putting into hot
oil as hot oil will spit and spatter
when it comes into contact with
droplets of water.
ILVE TIP
After cooking wipe the pizza stone
with wet cloth, the blacker it gets the
tastier the food will be, just like with
wok cooking and barbequing.
Cooking with ILVE
24 ILVE Operating Manual
25ILVE Operating Manual

The ILVE induction cooktops have been
designed to make your cooking quick,
easy and fun. When using an Induction
cooktop you will need to use specific
cookware, this is due to induction
technology using magnetic fields which
transfer the cooking energy to the base
of your cookware. You need to make
sure that the cookware you are using
has a magnetic base.
Due to the cooktop needing a magnetic
base to work, the cooktop will not
start to generate heat until it comes
into contact with the magnetic field
the cookware will create. Once the
saucepan is removed the cooktop will
automatically shut down until magnetic
contact is reintroduced.
Even though the cooktop uses the
base of your cookware as the heating
element and not the cooktop you
should still be aware that the cooktop
surface may still be hot from residual
heat. The cooktop display will have a
appear to indicate to you the surface
may be hot and you should not touch it.
Cookware bases that will work on
induction surface: Enamel, Cast Iron,
Stainless Steel.
Cookware bases that will not work
on induction: Copper, Glass, Ceramic,
Aluminum.
Turning on the cooktop
To operate your induction cooktop
switch the cooktop on by touching the
power button, choose which cooking
zone you wish to cook on, to do this
touch the button of the zone you
desire, to adjust the temperature
continue to press the through 1 to
9 you can reduce the heat level by
using the button. Five seconds after
you have selected your temperature
the cooktop will go into lock mode to
prevent you accidentally changing the
temperature. To adjust the temperature
or to activate another zone simply touch
the button on the desired zone then
adjust accordingly. A red dot will appear
next to the zone that is being used or
adjusted, to activate another zone touch
the button and another red dot will
then appear next to that zone.
Automatic boil &
reduce function
Your ILVE induction cooktop has
been designed to automatically boil
then reduce to a simmer without you
being there.
To do this, bring the desired cooking
zone up to maximum temperature ‘9’ by
touching the button. An will start to
flash followed by the number ‘9’ simply
reduce the temperature by touching the
button (e.g. to number 4) the cooktop
will now flash 4 and . The cooktop will
come to a boil and then reduce to the
desired simmering temperature you have
chosen. The letter will stop flashing
when the cooktop has reduced to your
selected temperature.
Power boost function
Your ILVE induction cooktop also
includes a rapid power boost mode on
each zone. This will enable you to bring
large liquid quantities such as water to a
boil in a much quicker time by supplying
more power to an individual zone.
To do this simply activate the zone in
which you choose to use and press the
symbol on your cooktop (P stands
for Power Boost). This will deliver a
much higher magnetic current to the
selected cooking zone and will bring
large amounts of liquid to a boil in a
much shorter time (e.g. 2 litres or water
will be boiled in approximately 3.5
minutes). A maximum of 2 zones can
be activated on Power Boost at any
one time, once a 3rd zone is activated
to power boost all zones will power
share. Once your liquid has come to
a boil, reduce the temperature to 9
or lower to continue cooking. (Note:
Power boost is only to be used to get
large amounts of liquid to a boil quickly
and not to be used as a cooking zone
as power boost is two extreme for
normal cooking).
Shut down timer
Your ILVE induction cooktop has been
equipped with a shut down timer so you
can set your cooktop to shut itself down
automatically after the desired time.
To do this, activate your cooking zone
and simply touch the timer button, ‘00’
will appear by touching and holding
down the timer button. The countdown
timer will rise, to reduce the time press
the button, after the selected time
has expired the individual cooking zone
will automatically shut down and beep.
If you wish to adjust the cooking time
after it has been set, simply activate the
cooking zone you are using by pressing
the button closest to the zone, press
the timer button and then use the
and Button to readjust the new shut
down time Each cooking zone can be
set at its own individual shut down
time. If you wish to check on individual
shut down time simply activate the
zone you wish to check by touching the
button. The maximum time you can
set each zone is 60 minutes.
Safety devices
Your ILVE induction cooktop has been
installed with some safety devices.
If you happen to boil dry a saucepan
or pot, or if the cooktop reaches a
dangerous temperature the cooktop
will shut down automatically to prevent
any harm on itself or your kitchen. The
cooktop will also beep at you to alert
you of a problem.
The cooktop is also fitted with a spill
detection device, this means that if you
have left something unattended and
there happens to be a boil over, once
the cooktop control panels senses a
spill it will automatically shut down and
beep at you to come and check what
has happened.
Keep warm function
Your ILVE induction cooktop also has
a keep warm function. This function
makes it possible to reach and maintain
a very low simmer for very delicate
simmering or to place something
you are cooking on hold until you
are ready to come back to cooking.
This temperature is also the lowest
temperature you can cook with to
prevent food spoilage or contamination.
To do this, activate the cooking zone
you are using by pressing then press
the button. A shape will appear
and maintain that temperature of 70 °C
for a maximum of 2 hours.
Simmering
Low temperature cooking is a
wonderful way of tenderising various
cuts of meat, melding flavours together
in sauces and curries and obtaining
clear stocks and consommés. A low
simmer can be achieved by selecting
a temperature between the off position
and the high flame position on the
selector knob, when using large pots it
is recommended that the large burner
or wok burner is used.
Griddle plate
The griddle plate is ideal for preparing
succulent meals using a minimum of fat
or oil. When frying fatty meats such as
chops, sausages and bacon, much of
the meat’s fats will drip into the griddle
plate’s reservoir. This is a very healthy
way of cooking meat while retaining
tenderness and succulence. As an
added bonus the griddle can be used
as a food or plate warmer.
Teppanyaki
The teppanyaki plate is an ideal way
of cooking delicate cuts of meat that
require quick cooking methods. The
heat in the plate will seal the meat
trapping the natural juices and flavour
without damaging the delicate texture.
Ideal food for cooking this way include
bacon, eggs, pikelets, pancakes, steaks,
sausages, fish, prawns and poultry.
Batch cooking
ILVE’s advanced hot air systems are
perfectly suited to batch cooking. The
large oven capacity enables you to
bake two standard family roasts side by
side. You can also cook two chickens
on the rotisserie simultaneously, bake
racks of multilayered cakes, trays of
biscuits, a variety of pies, loaves of
bread and fancy pastries with perfect
temperature control and without
having to wait for one batch to finish
before starting the next. ILVE’s built-in
three stage element and fan together
with its self-cleaning feature and
efficient fat filter enables a variety of
foods to be cooked together without
flavour transference.
Volcanic rock

When meat, poultry and seafood
is chargrilled on the volcanic rock
barbecue the food remains succulent
and naturally moist whilst developing
subtle smoky flavours which enhance
both taste and appearance.

Roasting
The roasting method is one of the
simplest ways to cook a large piece
of meat. Roasting is often the method
of choice because it yields a tender
interior and browned exterior through
prolonged oven cooking. One of the
most attractive aspects of roasting to
a busy cook is that while the roast is
cooking, the cook is freed to perform
any other tasks that need attention
before dinner is served. Before
beginning the oven cooking segment of
the roasting process, the meat should
be trimmed, seasoned and seared.
The standard temperature for cooking
roasts is 175ºC.
Technically, the lower the heat of
the oven, the better the final roasted
product will be. At a lower temperature,
the meat will take longer to cook but
will produce more flavour and moisture.
Never roast meat at a temperature
below 93°C). Once the temperature to
cook the roast at has been decided
upon, and the oven preheated, place
the trimmed, tied, seasoned, and
seared meat onto a baking dish and
into the oven. Roast the meat until its
ideal internal temperature is reached.
The ideal interior temperature will
depend wholly on what type of meat
is being roasted. For example, a roast
pork loin’s final interior temperature
should be around 70°C. Gauge the
interior temperature of meat by using
a meat thermometer or by using the
ILVE Roasting Probe (available on some
models only).
An ILVE fan forced gas oven has the
base burner situated under the oven
floor. The advantage of ILVE’s fan
forced gas oven is that the heat is
distributed evenly throughout, which
makes it ideal for batch baking.
However, the lower shelf is the
hottest when baking so experiment
with different shelf positions to obtain
the best results.
The thermostat in ILVE gas ovens is
mechanical; it operates on a different
system than electric ovens. There
is no indicator light on the front of
the panel of the upright to show
you when the oven has reached the
correct temperature, however the
gas oven heats up fairly quickly due
to the powerful gas burner at the
base of the oven. A moderate to hot
temperature in gas ovens is 175°C.
You cannot switch between the mode
of cooking in the gas oven like you
can in the electric - if you are cooking
on the fan forced and then wish to
use the grill then you must start again
and ignite the grill.
Cakes
Cook cakes on the third shelf
from the top on fan forced at
approximately 150°C. This will give
the cake a great colour and texture.
Biscuits
If doing more than one tray of
biscuits at a time then use the top
three levels only. The bottom shelf in
oven is far to close to the burner and
biscuits will burn underneath. Cook
your biscuits at 140°C on fan forced
so they cook evenly.
Muffins
Cook at 175°C on the third shelf from
the top of the oven on fan forced.
Muffins cook very well in the gas
oven with a great colour and very
even texture.
Roasting
Cook at 175°C on fan forced for half
an hour per 500g. The gas oven is
fantastic for roasting - the meat tends
to be very moist and browns very
well. Best cooked on the ILVE
grilling dish.
Grilling
Grilling must be done on the second
level from the top of the oven; the top
level is too close to the grill. Position
food towards the back half of the
ILVE grilling dish so that the meat is
closer to the direct heat.
Cooking In Your ILVE Gas Oven
Both the free standing and built in
ILVE coffee machines are amongst
the most advanced fully automatic
and programmable coffee machines
on the market. They have been hand
built with commercial quality parts
and these attributes have adapted
to the domestic market. Not only will
you experience the aroma and taste
that you would normally only get from
your favourite coffee house, your ILVE
coffee machine comes with much more
advanced added extras to heighten
your coffee experience.
There are a number of different settings
on you ILVE coffee machine from a
short black, double shots and long
black settings. You also have the
option to introduce a different pre
ground coffee for one individual shot
(e.g. decaf ect). Simply activate the
designated single shot button and
add your unique grinded coffee in
the individual compartment. The ILVE
coffee machine will also prompt you to
clean, decal and to empty the puck bin
(coffee waste). With your ILVE coffee
machine you can brew coffee and froth
milk all at the same time. This is due to
the machine having a large solid brass
boiler with a heat exchanger. You can
also produce straight hot water for your
cup of tea or chai latte.
Being the most advanced machine on
the market you also have the ability to
adjust your grind, grind time, amount of
coffee per shot and much much more.
The machine has been designed for
you to adjust it to your individual taste.
