USING THE VENTILATED ELECTRIC OVEN
When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250° to
eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation.
Before cooking, allow the oven to reach the desired temperature setting waiting for the orange light to turn off. This type o f oven
is equipped with a circular element around which a fan has been installed that creates forced-air circulation in the horizontal
direction. Thanks to this type of operation, the ventilated oven can be used for different types of cooking at the same time,
without changing the taste of each food. Only some models are equipped with a removable metallic filter applied to the rear
screen which collects the fat while a roast is cooking. Therefore, it is recommended to remove this fat periodically, washing the
screen with soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. To remove the metallic filter just apply slight pressure toward the top on the tab
indicated by the arrow. Hot-air circulation guarantees a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating the oven is not necessary, but
for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the trays.
The ventilated conventional system partially changes the various notions about traditional cooking. Meat no longer needs to be
turned while it is cooking and the rotisserie is no longer needed to cook a roast on the spit. Just put the meat directly on the
shelf.
USING THE GAS GRILL (SINGLE CONTROL)
The gas grill can be combined only with the gas oven. It is controlled with the same gas oven knob, but turning it clockwise
instead of counterclockwise (see the gas oven use instructions), matching the symbol with the indicator. The grill burner always
operates at maximum and therefore there is no minimum position. In addition, it is equipped with a safety device to prevent the
flame from going out. The gas grill can also be ignited in different ways:
- Manual lighting : Just completely open the oven door, turn the knob so that the relative symbol matches the indicator, while
pressing the knob, and, at the same time, put a lit match next to the burner. Make sure that the burner is completely lit and after
about 10 seconds release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition : In this case, completely open the oven door, press and turn the knob so that the relative symbol matches the
indicator, then press the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been
completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation. As for cookers
without ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait about 10 seconds after the
burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the
operation.
WARNING: As with the oven, the grill must be lit with the door completely open.
The gas grill can be used to grill foods on the oven shelf or using the rotisserie.
Grilling on the shelf : In this case, the shelf supplied is placed on level 1 or 2 and the foods to be grilled are placed on top,
while the tray is inserted on the lower levels to collect the cooking juices.
Then light the grill burner according to the instructions described above.
IMPORTANT: grill foods on the shelf always with the door close.
WARNING: the accessible parts may become very hot while grilling. Keep children away from the appliance while
cooking.
Grilling with the rotisserie
: This is used to grill with the rotating skewer. Therefore, insert the skewer holder on the side
shelves at level 3. Insert the food on the skewer and insert everything into the oven, inserting the point of the skewer into the
spindle that projects out from the rear of the oven and resting the front of the skewer into the skewer holder support (fig.28).
Afther, insert the tray into one of the lower guides, then light the grill burner according to the instructions described above and
press the button that starts the rotisserie
IMPORTANT: grill foods with the rotisserie always with the door close.
WARNING: the accessible parts may become very hot while grilling. Keep children away from the appliance while
cooking.
USING THE CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC GRILL
The electric grill can be linked to the gas oven or to the electric oven.
Both cases, the grill is operated by the thermostat knob of the oven (see also the working of gas or electric oven). The gas grill
as well as the electric one can be used to grill on the oven grill or with the rotisserie.
The power of the electric grill is 2500W.
Grilling on the shelf : In this case, the shelf supplied is placed on level 1 or 2 and the foods to be grilled are placed on top,
while the tray is inserted on the lower levels to collect the cooking juices. Then turn on the grill element switching the thermostat
to the relative position (electric oven version).
IMPORTANT: grill foods on the shelf always with the door open (fig. 29) and, to avoid overheating, mount the handle
guard on the relative latches (fig. 31).
Grilling with the rotisserie
: This is used to grill with the rotating skewer. Therefore, insert the skewer holder on the side
shelves at level 3. Insert the food on the skewer and insert everything into the oven, inserting the point of the skewer into the
spindle that projects out from the rear of the oven and resting the front of the skewer into the skewer holder support. Then,
insert the tray into one of the lower guides and switch the thermostat to the relative position and press the button with the
rotisserie symbol (electric oven version).
IMPORTANT: grill foods with the rotisserie always with the door semi-open (fig. 30) and, to avoid overheating, mount
the handle guard on the relative latches (fig. 31).
WARNING: the accessible parts may become very hot while grilling. Keep children away from the appliance while
cooking.
