How To UseYour Appliance
The various cooking fetures offered by your oven can be
selected using the "G" setting knob and variable grill knob
(N) located on the control panel.
D
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend 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 dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the "G" knob is turned to the
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains
on when any of the heating elements is turned on.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when
using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel.Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.
Thermostat Light (L)
This light indicates that the oven is heating.When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-
ting 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.
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (I)
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at
the centre.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the
symbol on the timer knob.
Using the oven
When the oven control knob (G) is turned in a clockwise
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.

come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food.Rotating
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the
food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from
50°C to 240°C).

The top centre heating element will come on and the
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off
in the downward direction by the electric heating element.
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill
make it possible to brown meats on the surface while
locking in the juices to keep them tender.

Double Grill
Both of the top heating elements turn on and the rotisserie
motor (if present) is activated.
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in
the corners of the oven.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be
left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from
overheating.
Before using the hot plates 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.
The green pilot lamp (H)
This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.
Cooking Control Timer Knob
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control
when the oven shuts off during cooking.To use this feature,
you must wind the "M" knob one full turn in the counter-

This appliance conforms to all relevant European
Standards regarding surface temperatures, however, in
order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door
and reduce energy consumption, a supplementary kit has
been made available as an optional extra. The fitting of
this kit should be considered, if energy saving is desirable
or if young children may be present. To purchase the

direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the
knob.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the
symbol on the timer knob.
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can
be used like a normal timer.
Practical Cooking Advice
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be
used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into the
bottom or top guides depending on whether the food needs
more heat from the top or bottom.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required for
leavened foods), we recommend using the "conventional"
oven feature which makes it possible to reach the tempera-
ture desired in a very short time. After the oven has been
preheated, the red indicator light (L) will turn off.At this point,
you can select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from
drying out.When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low

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
rack and place the drip pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack 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 savory roasts
(especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or
bacon on the top.
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Using the Grill
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating element
situated in the top of the oven chamber. The centre, or the
complete area of the grill can be selected by turning the oven
control knob (G) in a clockwise direction to align the symbols

mark on the control panel.The variable temperature control
(N) is positioned to right of the oven knob. This knob will
provide varying grill temperatures when rotated from “max”
to “min”and may be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any
time during the grilling operation.
Pastry is too dry
To operate the grill
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
1. Turn the oven control knob (G) clockwise until the required
grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the control panel.
The element is now “on”.
2. The variable grill control (N) can now be operated to select
the required 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 drip pan at the bottom rack level.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
