The various functions included in the cooker are selected by operating the control devices located on the cooker control panel.
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.
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.
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu- re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs: G - the selection knob
N - the thermostat knob on the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified by the “0”, the oven light turns on; the knob setting marked
&permits 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.
1. Static oven
-Knob “G” setting:
-Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max
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.
2. The bottom heating element - Knob “G” setting: 
- Knob “N” setting: anywhere between 50°C and Max
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.
3. The grill
-Knob “G” setting: 
-Knob “N” setting: 200°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.
4. The double grill
-Knob “G” setting: 
-Knob “N” setting: 200°C
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.
Place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table), to catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping- pan at the bottom rack level.
The oven-operating pilot lamp (L)
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 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.
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. Table shows the correspondence between the position indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates advised.
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.
Timer Knob
To use the timer, the ringer “M” must be wound up by turning the knob one full turn clockwise "; then turn it back #, to the desired time so that the number of minutes on the knob matches the reference mark on the panel.
Attention
Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very hot during the cooking.
