The information can be found on the rating plate.  
To the User  
You must read the instructions prior to installing and using the appliance and  
then retain them for future reference.  
 
Introduction  
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance  
has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.  
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.  
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.  
Note:When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.  
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours,  
keeping the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that  
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room  
until the smell has ceased.  
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.  
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:  
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.  
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the  
appliance.  
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the  
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.

The different functions and uses of the oven  
The various functions included in the cooker are selected by  
3.The grill  
operating the control devices located on the cooker control  
panel.  
- Knob “G” setting: F  
- Knob “N” setting: 180°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.  
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.  
4.The double grill  
- Knob “G” setting: d  
- Knob “N” setting: 180°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.  
Important: When utilizing the grill, 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.  
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  
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must  
be left partly open.  
Caution: Accesible parts will become hot when the  
grill is in use. Children should be kept away.  
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

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.  
1. Static oven  
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.  
- Knob “G” setting: a  
- 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: y  
- 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.

Cooking advice  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow  
Cooking fish and meat  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a  
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-  
sonal experience.  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low  
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be  
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is  
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)  
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.  
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the  
temperature and the longer the cooking time should  
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-  
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so  
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below  
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.  
Baking cakes  
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes  
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake-  
baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.  
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as  
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:  
To grill  
Pastry is too dry  
When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended  
that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting,  
as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which  
utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the  
thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling.  
When using the grill functions, place the grid on the  
lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and  
grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and  
smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st  
oven rack from the bottom.  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Pastry dropped  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must  
be left partly open.Table 1 includes the  
recommended temperatures, cooking times and  
positions for you to obtain the best results when  
cooking.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning  
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the  
Replacing the oven lamp  
electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be  
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:  
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;  
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;  
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C) with the following  
characteristics::  
- Voltage 230V  
- Wattage 25W  
- Type E14  
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are  
washed with warm water without using any abrasive  
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them;  
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often  
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,  
followed by careful rinsing and drying;  
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains.  
· the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and  
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still  
warm;  
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into  
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents  
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After  
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It  
is also recommended to dry any water drops;  
12  
 
The catalytic self-cleaning system  
Attention: catalytic enamel is very strong, but  
Some models have oven liners coated with a porous  
nonetheless, avoid:  
enamel also known as catalytic enamel.  
- scratching the enamel with sharp objects (i.e. a knife),  
- using abrasive detergents or products to clean it,  
otherwise you will destroy the enamel's self-cleaning  
properties.  
The enamel will not be damaged by the accessories  
(shelves, tray, rotisserie set). Do not be concerned if white  
marks appear on these accessories where they come into  
contact with the enamel surfaces.  
When hot, this enamel destroys all greasy food particles.  
For this "oxidation" to occur, the oven liners must reach a  
temperature of at least 170°C. The porosity of the catalytic  
enamel increases its surface area, thus making the  
oxidation process more effective.  
When cooking is done, should some grease and food  
particles remain on the oven liners, leave the appliance  
on with nothing in it and the door shut, with the tempera-  
ture knob on the maximum setting, for 60-90 minutes,  
depending on the degree of soil. You can remove large  
amounts of grease using hot water and a soft brush.
