How to use your oven  
The various features offered by your oven are selected by  
means of selector knob “B” and thermostat “C” situated  
on the control panel.  
Convection Mode a  
Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 60°C and Max.  
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements 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  
and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-  
ing.When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-  
ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat  
distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights  
available, you can balance the amount of heat between  
the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among  
the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs  
more or less heat from the top.  
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.  
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom  
shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from  
dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling  
food or when using the rotisserie (only available on cer-  
tain models). 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 dam-  
age the enamel.Always place your cookware (dishes, alu-  
minium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appli-  
ance inserted especially along the oven guides.

How to KeepYour Oven in Shape  
How to remove the oven door  
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven  
door. Proceed as follows:  
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,  
disconnect it from the power supply.  
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned  
frequently, keeping in mind that:  
open the door fully;  
lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two  
hinges;  
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be  
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-  
sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains  
are difficult to remove, use special products available  
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse  
thoroughly and dry.  
grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly  
but not completely;  
pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;  
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures  
backwards.

the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned  
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot  
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and  
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de-  
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and  
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as  
limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the  
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly  
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-  
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.  
if you use your oven for an extended period of time,  
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.  
there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening  
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the  
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary,  
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects  
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact  
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom-  
mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re-  
paired.  
Replacing the Oven Lamp  
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means  
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance  
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the  
plug is accessible;  
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;  
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac-  
teristics:  
-
-
-
Voltage: 230/240 V  
Wattage 25W  
Type E14  
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains power supply.  
never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the  
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise  
the cooking and even damage the enamel.  
clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or  
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

Practical Cooking Advice  
Using the Grill  
When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or  
rack at a time. Select from among the top or bottom rack  
heights based on whether the dish needs more or less  
heat from the top.  
Use the d grill” mode, placing the food under the cen-  
tre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the  
bottom) because only the central part of the top heating  
element is turned on.  
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the  
dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or grease  
and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bot-  
tom.  
When using this mode, we recommend you set the ther-  
mostat to the highest setting.However, this does not mean  
you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting  
the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.  
Important:always use the grill with the oven door shut.  
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to  
save on energy (approximately 10%).  
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.  
Preheating  
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case  
when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you use  
the “convection mode” to reach the desired temperature  
as quickly as possible. When preheating is over, which is  
indicated by the red light “E” going out, select the  
required cooking mode.  
Cooking Fish and Meat  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature  
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.  
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while  
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with  
a high temperature setting (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.Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place  
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the 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.  
Baking Cakes  
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and 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.
