choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking modes. The various features offered by the oven are se- lected by means of selector knob “L” and thermostat “ M” situated on the control panel.

The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in

particular for delicate types of food which do not require power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off • heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or

custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.

symbol).

Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob

Some of the models are provided with instant electronic light- ing of the hob gas burners; these models are identified by the presence of a lighting device (see detail C).This device operates when a slight pressure is applied to the “T” button

marked with symbol. To light a specific burner just press the button labelled “T” while pushing the corresponding knob all the way in and turning it counter-clockwise until it lights.

For immediate lighting, first press the button and then turn the knob.

Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to relight.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the highest setting and leave the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven dur- ing storage and until it is installed.

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.

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.

The Oven Control Knobs

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of tra- ditional convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance.

It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to

Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and Max. On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and re- duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, gou- lash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re- mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak- ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip- ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

Fan Assisted Mode

Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 60°C and Max. The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cook- ing temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring con- siderably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possi- ble to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The fan assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appear-
