USING THE THERMOSTAT WITH SWITCH IN SERIES (Right oven)
(COOKERS WITH A SINGLE-CONTROL CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC OVEN)
The electric oven is controlled by an electric thermostat combined with a switch used to turn on the elements. The electric oven can be combined with an electric grill. The oven is heated by 2 elements: one on the top and one on the
bottom. Turning the knob clockwise (fig.32) in the first position we have the single operation of the oven light 
. Turns on the bottom element and the top external elements while the thermostat is used to set the temperature ranging from 50°C to 250°C. It can be adjusted using the scale indicated on the ring around the knob. An orange light turns off indicating that the temperature setting has been reached. Therefore, it is normal for this light to turn on and off while the oven is working. There are 3 fixed position beyond the 250°C setting:
-the symbol 
indicates the only the bottom element (900W) has been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that only the top external element (600W) has been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that only the grill element (900W) has been turned on;
In these positions the temperature is not controlled by the thermostat.
USING THE 9 + 0 SWITCH (left oven)
The 9 + 0 switch installed in the multifunction oven models is used, along with the thermostat, to control the electric fan and the oven elements since they can be turned on by turning the 9 + 0 switch knob and the thermostat knob. Turning just one of the two knobs will not have any effect on the oven except to turn on the oven light or the electric fan when inserted. The electric oven is heated by 4 elements: one on the bottom, two on the top or one circular; turning the switch knob (fig.33) turns on the element relative to the symbol indicated on the ring but to be activated the thermostat knob must be turned until the orange light turns on indicating that the element has been turned on. Placing the switch knob on any of the nine operating modes turns on the oven light, together with the relative element. Once the temperature and the elements to be used have been set, the oven elements are turned on and off by the thermostat; therefore, it is normal for the orange light to turn on and off while the oven is working.
To turn off the electric oven set the switch knob to position 0 to prevent the thermostat from controlling the elements. Setting the thermostat knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the switch, to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.
The switch has 9 different fixed positions corresponding to 9 different types of oven operation:
-the symbol 
indicates that only the oven light is turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that the bottom element (1300W) and the top external element (900W) have been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that only the top external element (900W) has been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates the only the bottom element (1300W) has been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that only the grill element (2000W) has been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that the top external element (900W) and the grill element (2000W) have been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that the top external element (900W), the grill element (2000W) and the electric fan have been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that the circular element (2400W) and the electric fan have been turned on;
-the symbol 
indicates that only the electric fan has been turned on.
When the knob is set to one of these nine positions, the oven light is always on, thus indicating that the oven is being energised.
USING THE NATURAL CONVENTIONAL 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. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off before putting in any food. The oven is equipped with 4 guides at different heights (fig.29) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Table No. 7 below lists the cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal experience will help to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.
