“Top” Oven
Position of thermostat knob M”: Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob M”: Max
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high tempera-
ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-
burgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cook-
ing Advice” paragraph.
The oven light
Set knob L” to the symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven
and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in
the oven come on.
Thermostat Light (O)
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off,
the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made
with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on
and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant
level.
Timer Knob (S)
In order to use the timer, it must be wound by turning the "S"
knob almost one complete turn in the clockwise direction
. Then, turning it back , set the desired time by lining
up the number for the minutes with the mark on the control
panel.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some
models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on
automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the
oven cools down sufficiently.
The control knobs for the hob electric hotplates (N)
The cookers can be fitted with normal and rapid electric
hotplates in a variety of combinations (the rapid hotplates
can be distinguished from the rest by the red boss in the
centre of the same). To avoid any heat loss and damage to
the hotplates, we advise you to use pans with a flat bottom,
with a diameter which matches that of the hotplate itself. The
table contains the different settings indicated on the knobs
and the use for which the hotplates are recommended.
Setting Normal or Fast Plate
0 Off
1 Cooking vegetables, fish
2
Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups,
chickpeas, beans.
3
Continuing the cooking of large quantities
of food, minestrone
4
For roasting (average)
5
For roasting (above average)
6
For browning and reaching a boil in a
short time.
Before using the hotplates for the first time, you should
heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4
minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage, their
protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
Electric hotplate indicator light (H)
This light comes on when any of the electrical hotplates on a
hob which features electric hotplates have been turned on.
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.
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 dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
