• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to
the “0” position.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating
heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven
reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting with the
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.
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.
STATIC OVEN STATIC OVEN STATIC OVEN STATIC OVEN STATIC OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is
best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one
rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an
uneven manner.
OVEN B OVEN B OVEN B OVEN B OVEN BOTTOM OTTOM OTTOM OTTOM OTTOM mode
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of
dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on
the surface but require further cooking in the centre,
or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which
only require moderate colouring on the surface. It
should be noted that this function does not allow the
maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven
(250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that
foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you
are baking cakes (which should be baked at a
temperature of 180°C or lower).
OVEN TOP mode
The top heating element is activated. 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.
GRILL mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit will
be activated. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high surface temperature:
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers
etc...
! The GRILL and OVEN TOP cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use
pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less
than that of the hotplate itself.
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 placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
Lower compartment*
There is a compartment underneath the oven that
may be used to store oven accessories or deep
dishes. To open the
door pull it downwards
(
see figure).
! The internal surfaces
of the compartment
(where present) may
become hot.
! Do not place
flammable materials in
the lower oven
compartment.
* Only available in certain models.
