The different functions and uses of the oven  
The various functions included in the cooker are selected by  
3.The grill  
operating the control devices located on the cooker control  
panel.  
- Knob “G” setting: F  
- Knob “N” setting: Max  
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill.  
The rather high and direct temperature of the grill permits  
browning the outside of meats immediately thus keeping  
in the juices and assuring tenderness.  
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.  
4.The double grill  
- Knob “G” setting: d  
- Knob “N” setting: Max  
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating  
element of the grill. This grill is larger than the average  
and has a completely new design: cooking performance  
is increased 50%. The double grill makes sure that even  
the corners are touched by heat.  
Important: when using the grill, keep the oven door closed  
to obtain the best results and save energy (about 10%).  
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels  
(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent  
smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.  
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be  
left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between  
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from  
overheating.  
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.  
The oven knobs  
With these two controls you can select the different  
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-  
re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different  
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:  
G - the selection knob  
N - the thermostat knob  
on the oven panel.  
D
For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified  
by the “0”, the oven light turns on;the knob setting marked  
8 permits turning on the oven light without any heating  
element being switched on. When the oven light is on, it  
means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on for the  
entire time the oven is being used.  
1. Static oven  
- Knob “G” setting: a  
The oven-operating pilot lamp (L)  
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max  
Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the  
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature  
selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on  
and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is  
operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.  
The oven light turns on and the top and bottom heating  
elements (resistors) switch on.The temperature, fixed by  
the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept  
constant by the thermostat control. This function permits  
cooking and type of food thanks to excellent temperature  
distribution.  
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (I)  
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and  
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast  
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the  
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at  
the centre.  
2.The bottom heating element  
- Knob “G” setting: y  
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max  
The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating  
element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob,  
is reached automatically and kept constant.This setting is  
recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed  
in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done  
inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require  
a light browning on top. Note that this function does not  
permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside  
for cooking foods always on this oven setting unless the  
foods are cakes which only require temperatures below  
or equal to 180°C.  
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,  
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in  
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.  
Table shows the correspondence between the position  
indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates  
advised.

Caution: this storage recess must not be used to store  
inflammable materials.  
Before using the hot plates for the first time, you  
should heat them at maximum temperature for  
approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During  
this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and  
reaches its maximum resistance.

This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.  
Oven door kit  
In order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door  
and reduce energy consumption, a supplemental kit has been  
made available.This kit should be installed if the oven is used in  
the presence of small children.To install the protective glass for  
the oven door (code 076650), contact your nearest Merloni  
EletrodomesticiServiceCentreindicatedonthelistprovidedwith

Cooking advice  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow  
Cooking fish and meat  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a  
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-  
sonal experience.  
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.  
Baking cakes  
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes  
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake-  
baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.  
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as  
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:  
To grill  
Pastry is too dry  
When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended  
that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting,  
as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which  
utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the  
thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling.  
When using the grill functions, place 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.  
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.  
Important: always use the grill with the oven door  
closed.This will allow you both to obtain excellent results  
and to save on energy (approximately 10%).Table 1  
includes the recommended temperatures, cooking times  
and positions for you to obtain the best results when  
cooking.  
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.
