Cooking with the turnspit
To use the turnspit, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the spit frame on the second guide
from the bottom, as shown in the figure.
2. Insert the first fork in the spit, skewer the
food to be cooked and secure it by in-
serting the second fork; fix the two forks
by tightening the special screws.
3. Insert the tip of the spit in the hole of the
turnspit motor, clearly visible in the middle
of the rear wall of the oven.
4. Place the front part of the spit on the spit
frame.
5. Unscrew the grip.
6. Turn the selector knob to the turnspit
symbol and the thermostat knob to

It is advisable to insert the dripping pan
on the first guide from the bottom, after
pouring about two cups of water in it.

tor knob to the symbol

Use, tables and tips
Advice for cooking meat and fish
Meat can be arranged in recipients suit-
able for cooking in the oven, or directly
on the grill.
In the latter case, ALWAYS pour a little
water in the drip-tray and insert it on the
guides under the grill.
The drip-tray will collect the fats melted dur-
ing cooking, and the water prevents the fats
from burning and producing unpleasant
odours or smoke.
White meats, poultry and fish usually require
cooking at medium temperature (between
150° C and 175°C), whereas cooking red
meats “rare” requires temperatures between
200° C and 240° C for short times.
Advice for baking cakes
Cakes require a moderate temperature, be-
tween 150°C and 200°C.
Before baking a cake, it is advisable to heat
the oven for about 10 minutes, and avoid
opening the oven door during baking.
Advice for grilling
To grill meat or fish, baste it with a little oil and
place on the grill.
When grilling, the heat only comes from
above, therefore the grill must be inserted on
the upper or lower guides depending on the
thickness of the meat or fish. In which case,
ALWAYS make sure to insert the drip-
tray on the lowest guides, but not on the
bottom of the oven, after pouring about
two cups of water in it.
The possible formation of condensate
on the oven door glass, walls and bot-
tom does not affect oven operation. It is
advisable to dry the condensate at the
end of cooking.
Gas oven
Cooking times in the tables do not in-
clude pre-heating.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary be-
fore any cooking.
