The different functions of the cooker

The various functions included in the cooker are selected by operating the control devices located on the cooker control panel. The cooker is equipped, with a mechanical automatic programmer. Before operating the oven or the

grill, ensure that the symbol coincides with the pointer on dial 4.

Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time, turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill during the period between the and installation of the appliance.

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 knob (5)

This knob is used to select the different functions of the oven and choose the right cooking temperature for the food to be prepared in the oven among the temperatures shown on the knob (from 70°C to 250°C). By turning the knob clockwise the oven lamp lights up and the forced ventilation inside the oven comes on; when knob is set at

symbol foods are quickly defrozen with no alteration of their protein content; when the knob is turned further, the heating elements comes on and you may choose, among the full range of values shown, the most ideal tem- perature for the food you are cooking. To do so, match the desired temperature value shown on the panel.

This temperature is reached automatically and kept constant by the knob-controlled thermostat.The fan oven, which reduces preheating time by an average of 40%, permits energy saving of 30% in the preheating phase. Maximum economy is obtained, however, when cooking at the same time on several schelves (up to

Grill position G

Turning the oven knob till to this position, the oven light turns on, 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.

Use of the grill
