Introduction
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance
has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Note:When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours,
keeping the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room
until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the
appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

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: 180°C
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: 180°C
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 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.
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
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must
be left partly open.
Caution: Accesible parts will become hot when the
grill is in use. Children should be kept away.
N - the thermostat knob
on the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified
by the “0”, the oven light turns on;the knob setting marked

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.
1. Static oven
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.
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.
- Knob “G” setting: a
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max
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.
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.

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: when using the grill, the oven door must
be left partly open.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.

electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;
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
characteristics::
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.
· the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still
warm;
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;

The catalytic self-cleaning system
Attention: catalytic enamel is very strong, but
Some models have oven liners coated with a porous
nonetheless, avoid:
enamel also known as catalytic enamel.
- scratching the enamel with sharp objects (i.e. a knife),
- using abrasive detergents or products to clean it,
otherwise you will destroy the enamel's self-cleaning
properties.
The enamel will not be damaged by the accessories
(shelves, tray, rotisserie set). Do not be concerned if white
marks appear on these accessories where they come into
contact with the enamel surfaces.
When hot, this enamel destroys all greasy food particles.
For this "oxidation" to occur, the oven liners must reach a
temperature of at least 170°C. The porosity of the catalytic
enamel increases its surface area, thus making the
oxidation process more effective.
When cooking is done, should some grease and food
particles remain on the oven liners, leave the appliance
on with nothing in it and the door shut, with the tempera-
ture knob on the maximum setting, for 60-90 minutes,
depending on the degree of soil. You can remove large
amounts of grease using hot water and a soft brush.
