HowTo UseYour Appliance
The various features of cooker are controlled through the
knobs and buttons located on the 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 solid ring •. To light oneof the burners,
hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the
same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob
counter clockwise to the maximum Esetting.Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power.Shown on the knob arethe differentsymbolsforoff•
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol corresponds
withthe referencemarkon the control panel),formaximum
Eand minimum C.
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter clockwise
withrespect totheoffposition.Toturnoffthe burner,turnthe
knobclockwiseuntilit stops (corresponding againwiththe•
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
Someofthemodelsareprovidedwithinstantelectroniclight-
ing of the hob gas burners; these models are identified by
the presence of a lighting device (see detail C).This device
operates when a slight pressure is applied to the“T”button
marked with symbol.To light a specific burner just press
thebuttonlabelled“T”whilepushingthecorrespondingknob
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.
Attention:Thefirst time youuse the oven werecommend
thatyouset the thermostat on the highestsetting and leave
the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it.
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 dur-
ing 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
operationbecause thiscoulddamage the enamel.Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc.etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the symbol on the timer knob.
The Oven Control Knobs
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of tra-
ditional convection ovens with those of the more modern
fan assisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking
modes.The various features offered by the oven are se-
lected by means of selector knob “L” and thermostat “M”
situated on the control panel.
“Defrosting”Mode
Position of thermostat knob “M”:any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommendedforthe defrosting ofall types offood,but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob“M”: between 60°C and Max.
Onthissetting, the top andbottom heatingelements 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
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
several ingredients, e.g.cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,
etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal
or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, gou-
lash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re-
mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit
andcooking using covered casseroledishesforovenbak-
ing.When cooking inconvection mode,only use onedrip-
ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distributionwillbe uneven.Usingthe differentrackheights
available, you can balance the amount of heat between
the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among
thevarious rackheights based onwhether the dishneeds
more or less heat from the top.
Fan Assisted Mode
Position of thermostat knob “M”:Between60°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on.
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its
entire surface.With this mode, you can also cook various
dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cook-
ing temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks
can beused atthe same time, following theinstructions in
the section entitled:“Cooking On More Than One Rack”.
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring con-
siderably prolonged cooking times, such as for example:
lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc…
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possi-
ble to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts.This
results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender
and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast.The fan
assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which
can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of
condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appear-

11
ance.
Desserts:the fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking
leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly
white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to
80 °C.To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
“Top” oven
Position of thermostat knob“M”:Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cook-
ing.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob “M”:Max
The top heating element and the turnspit come on.
Theextremelyhighanddirecttemperatureofthegrillmakes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib
steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Use the“grill” mode with the oven door ajar.
Somegrillingexamplesareincludedinthe“PracticalCooking
Advice”paragraph.
Fan Assisted Grill
Positionof thermostatknob“M”:between60°Cand200°C.
Thetop central heatingelementand the fan come on.This
combinationof featuresincreasesthe effectivenessof the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, al-
lowing the heat to penetrate right into the food.Excellent
results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and
vegetables,sausages,ribs,lambchops,chickenina spicy
sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
All“gratin”cookingmustbedonewiththeovendoorshut.
Thismode is alsoideal forcookingfish steaks,likesword-
fish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
The oven light
Set knob “L” to the symbol to turn it on. It lights the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating ele-
ments in the oven come on.
Thermostat Light (O)
This light indicates that the oven is heating.When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-
ting made with the thermostat knob.At this point, the light
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature
at a constant level.
Cooking ControlTimer Knob (only on a few models)
Somemodelsareequipped with a timerprogramtocontrol
whentheovenshutsoffduringcooking.To use thisfeature,
you must wind the "S" knob one full turn in the counter-
clockwisedirection ;Then, turnthe knob in the clockwise
direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the
knob.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the symbol on the timer knob.
Whenthe ovenis not inuse,the cookingcontrol timer can
be used like a normal timer.
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
In order to obtain the best performance, keep in mind the
following:
•Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table)so thatthe flames donot extendbeyond thebot-
tom of the cookware.
•Only flat bottom cookware should be used.
•At the boiling point, turn the knob to low.
•Always use a lid with the cookware.
Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm)
Fast (R) 24 - 26
Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20
Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14
NB. Onthe models suppliedwith a reducergrate, remem-
ber that this should be used only for the auxiliary burner
when you use casserole dishes with a diameter under 12
cm.
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.

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
youto cookanytype of foodin thebest possibleway.With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guidelinewhich may be variedaccording to yourownper-
sonal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case
when cooking leavened foods), the “fan assisted” mode
canbeused to reach thedesired temperatureasquickly
as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Cooking on MoreThan One Rack
If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same
time, use only the “fan assisted mode” which is the
only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
• The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central racks;the lowest
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these
racks.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the
bottom,placing the foodstuffsthat require greaterheat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place
theroast on the2nd rack from thebottomand the more
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
• When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times
andtemperatures,setatemperaturethatis somewhere
betweenthe two temperatures required, placethe more
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
• Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on
the upper;
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling
modes.
Usethe“grill”mode with the oven door ajar,placing
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack from the bottom).
Tocatch any fatand/or grease thatmay drip fromtherack,
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the en-
ergy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels
canbe set,simply byadjusting the thermostat knobto the
desired level.
Setting ,“fan assisted grill”,only with the oven door
shut, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the
distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown
the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of
the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-
pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important:alwaysuse the grill with theoven door shut.
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to
save on energy (approximately 10%).
Whenusingthismode,weadvise youtoset the thermostat
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,
which is based on the use of infrared rays.However, this
doesnotmean youcannotuse lowertemperatures,simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired tempera-
ture.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly (the red light “O” will turn off). Do
not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping.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
flour or use greaseproof paper.
I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same
cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan
assisted “ mode:
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid
supplied with the oven.If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and
4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas
in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10
minutes.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Whencooking whitemeat, fowland fish,use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For redmeat that shouldbe welldone onthe outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
ahigh temperaturesetting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting.Placethe meaton the centreof thegrid andplace
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Makesure thatthegrid isinserted sothatit is inthe centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
