Caution: If the burner accidentally goes out, turn off the
burner using the knob and wait at least one minute before
relighting.
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
operationbecausethis 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.

Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic
guidelines should be followed:
•Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see
table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading be-
yond the bottom of the cookware.
•Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
•As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to
the lowest setting.
•Always use lids with pots and pans.
Bruciatore ø Diametro recipienti (cm)
Rapido (R) 24 – 26
Semi Rapido (S) 16 – 20
Ausiliario (A) 10 – 14
N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid
should only be used with the auxiliary burner when
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into the
small recess (fig.1), tilt it upwards and slide it towards the
centre (fig. 2).
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best
results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves.Pouring a little water into the grill pan
will make the collection of grease particles more efficient
and prevent the formation of smoke.

Cooking advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
youto cook any type of foodin the best possibleway.With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guidelinewhichmay be variedaccordingtoyourown per-
sonal experience.
Baking cakes
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes
waittill theendofpreheating(about 15 min.).Cake-baking
temperatures are normally around 160°C. Do not open
the oven door during the baking process as this could
cause the cake to sink.
Beaten cake mixtures should not be too soft as this could
considerably lengthen cooking times.In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

Cooking fish and meat
Meat must weigh at least one Kg.to stop it becoming too
dry. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven.If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf. For tastier roasts,
wrap the meat with bacon rashers or dot the meat with
lardandplaceitintheupperpartoftheoven.Whensome
types of food are cooked in the ventilated oven (duck,
rabbit, large fowl) they become too dry; in these cases,
better results are obtained using the combined oven.
