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 5 guides
at different heights (fig.33) 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. 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.
USING THE VENTILATED 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.
Before cooking, allow the oven to reach the desired temperature setting waiting for the orange light to turn off. This type of oven
is equipped with a circular element around which a fan has been installed that creates forced-air circulation in the horizontal
direction. Thanks to this type of operation, the ventilated oven can be used for different types of cooking at the same time,
without changing the taste of each food. Only some models are equipped with a removable metallic filter applied to the rear
screen which collects the fat while a roast is cooking. Therefore, it is recommended to remove this fat periodically, washing the
screen with soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. To remove the metallic filter just apply slight pressure toward the top on the tab
indicated by the arrow. Hot-air circulation guarantees a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating the oven is not necessary, but
for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the trays.
The ventilated conventional system partially changes the various notions about traditional cooking. Meat no longer needs to be
turned while it is cooking and the rotisserie is no longer needed to cook a roast on the spit. Just put the meat directly on the
shelf.
USING THE GAS GRILL (SINGLE CONTROL)
The gas grill can be combined only with the gas oven. It is controlled with the same gas oven knob (Fig.30), but turning it
clockwise instead of counterclockwise (see the gas oven use instructions), matching the symbol with the indicator. The grill
burner always operates at maximum and therefore there is no minimum position. In addition, it is equipped with a safety device
to prevent the flame from going out. The gas grill can also be ignited in different ways:
- Manual lighting: Just completely open the oven door, turn the knob so that the relative symbol matches the indicator, while
pressing the knob, and, at the same time, put a lit match next to the burner. Make sure that the burner is completely lit and after
about 10 seconds release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition: In this case, completely open the oven door, press and turn the knob so that the relative symbol matches the
indicator, then press the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been
completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation. As for cookers
without ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait about 10 seconds after the
burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the
operation.
WARNING: As with the oven, the grill must be lit with the door completely open.
The gas grill can be used to grill foods on the oven shelf or using the rotisserie.
Grilling on the shelf: In this case, the shelf supplied is placed on level 1 or 2 and the foods to be grilled are placed on top,
while the tray is inserted on the lower levels to collect the cooking juices.
Then light the grill burner according to the instructions described above.
IMPORTANT: grill foods on the shelf always with the door close.
WARNING: the accessible parts may become very hot while grilling. Keep children away from the appliance while
cooking.
Grilling with the rotisserie: This is used to grill with the rotating skewer. Therefore, insert the skewer holder on the side
shelves at level 3. Insert the food on the skewer and insert everything into the oven, inserting the point of the skewer into the
spindle that projects out from the left side of the oven and resting the front of the skewer into the skewer holder support (fig.38).
Afther, insert the tray into one of the lower guides, then light the grill burner according to the instructions described above and
press the button that starts the rotisserie
IMPORTANT: grill foods with the rotisserie always with the door close.
WARNING: the accessible parts may become very hot while grilling. Keep children away from the appliance while
cooking.
USING THE GAS GRILL FOR MODEL WITH DOUBLE CONTROLS
Oven and grill burners should not be used simultaneously
The gas grill can be combined only with the gas oven.
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. The gas grill
can be ignited in different ways depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics:
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Just completely open the oven door, turn the knob
counterclockwise that corresponds to the gas grill, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig.15)
while keeping the knob pressed and place a lit match up to the burner. Make sure that the burner is completely lit and after
about 10 seconds release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition: In this case, completely open the oven door, press and turn the knob so that the relative symbol matches the
indicator, then press the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been
completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation. As for cookers
without ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait about 10 seconds after the
burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the
operation.
WARNING: afther lighting the oven and grill burners, please wait for 2 or 3 minutes before closing the oven door, in
order to allow the burners flamesto became stable
