Cooking modes
!
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the
GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power
level is recommended.
!
The first time you use your appliance, we
recommend 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 during this initial use is
due to the evaporation of substances used to
protect the oven during storage and until it is
installed.
The different cooking functions are set up by
operating the two knobs: the selection knob and the
thermostat knob. For any selection-knob setting
different from idle, identified by the “00000”, the oven
light turns on; the knob setting marked

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

! When using the grill, the oven door must be left
partly open by positioning the deflector between
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from
overheating.
The oven-operating pilot lamp
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 hotplate pilot lamp
This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.
