5. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

5.1 Front control panel

All the cooker controls and commands are on the front panel.

If the cooker is equipped with an electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that
the symbol ; appears on the display. See paragraph “8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER”.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS

FRONT RIGHT BURNER CENTRAL BURNER

BACK RIGHT BURNER VARIABLE GRILL

BACK LEFT BURNER ELECTRIC OVEN THERMOSTAT

FRONT LEFT BURNER ELECTRIC OVEN FUNCTION KNOB

HOB BURNER COMMAND KNOB

The flame is lit by pressing the knob and turning it anticlockwise to minimum
flame . To adjust the flame turn the knob between maximum ( ) and
minimum ( ). The burner goes out when the knob is returned to the position
.

ELECTRIC OVEN THERMOSTAT KNOB

Selection of cooking temperature is carried out by
turning the knob clockwise to the required temperature,
between 50° and 260°C.
If the appliance has an electric oven, the warning light
will come on when the oven is heating up. When it goes
out it means that the required temperature has been
reached. Regular flashing means that oven temperature
is being constantly maintained at the programmed level.

VARIABLE GRILL KNOB

This allows to vary heat intensity when cooking with the grill. The knob can
be set with continuity between “0” and the stop release position, which
corresponds to maximum heat.

16
 Instructions for the user
ELECTRIC OVEN CONTROL KNOB
Each of the functions listed below can be used (except
the oven light and the small grill) only together with the
correct temperature thermostat regulation as described
on page 16 of this manual.

Oven light: The light function can be used when the oven is switched off.

Static: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly
suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static cooking, is suitable
for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any
case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.

Bottom: The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of foods
that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes,
pies, tarts and pizzas.

Grill: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and
medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present) gives the food
an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function
enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

Pizza: The operation of the fan, combined with the grill and the lower heating element,
ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for
biscuits and cakes.

Fan-assisted grill: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the
grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork).

Fan-assisted bottom: The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows
cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for
finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside,
which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.

Turbo: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different
foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of
smells and flavours. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level
cooking, you are advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners).

Circular: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the
oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperature and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of
heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on
different levels) without mixing smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are
advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners).

Defrosting: Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to
ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven.

6. USE OF THE HOB

6.1 Lighting of the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the correct position and that
their burner caps are in place, making sure that the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the
spark plugs and thermocouples.
The optional grid B is for use with “woks” (Chinese pans).
To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker with a raised pan stand C to
be placed underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The supplied reduction rest C is used also for small pans.

The drawing next to each knob shows the corresponding burner. The
appliance has an electronic lighting device. Simply press and turn the knob
anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until the flame is lit. Hold the
knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up. The
burner may go out when the knob is released: this is because the
thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the operation
holding down the knob a little longer. This operation is not necessary for
burners without thermocouples.

For models with thermocouples, should the burner accidentally go out, a safety device will be
activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open.

6.2 Practical advice for using the hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered vessel that are
proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph
“6.3 Diameter of the vessels to be used on each burner”). When water reaches the boiling
point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all
vessels or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob. All vessels must have
a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don’t
overheat and catch fire.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before
trying to re-light the burner.

7. USE OF THE OVEN

For the models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the display
shows the symbol .

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C)
for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to
the food.
After a power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently and show . To adjust refer to
paragraph "8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER ”.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place
pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use
greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the
oven.

To prevent problems caused by steam in the oven, open the door in two
stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To
access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to
prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

7.2 Use of the electric grill

For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat,
select the static grill function ; set the thermostat knob to maximum
temperature (240°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill
knob. The ventilated grill function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks
to the forced ventilation which lets heat penetrate inside the food. For this
type of cooking select the ventilated grill function , set the thermostat
knob to the desired cooking temperature (never more than 200°C) and
adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob. Cooking time must
not exceed 60 minutes.

7.2.1 Operation of the grill + rotisserie

Both the static and the fan grill functions can be used for cooking in combination with the
rotisserie. Fit the spit rod into the rotisserie bushing, select the or fan grill function and set
the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (240°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of
the variable grill knob, without exceeding the ¾ stroke as shown in the figure.
Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must never last more than 60 minutes.
All cooking procedures with grill + rotisserie must be carried out with the door closed to
prevent the knobs and front panel of the appliance from overheating.

20
 Instructions for the user
7.2.2 Using the rotisserie in cookers with maxi oven
Fit the supporting frame onto the second runner
up from the bottom so that the seat to take the
rod projects outside the oven. Place the rod as
shown in the diagram (1) and push the frame
into the oven until the end of the rod reaches
the hole in the rotisserie motor. Now push the
rotisserie rod to the left until it reaches the
position shown in the diagram (2). To activate
this function, turn the knob to ( / ).
These operations must be carried out with
the oven switched off and cold.
When cooking is over, use the tool provided to
extract the rod from the hole (3) and remove the 1 2
frame (4) to bring the rotisserie rod out of the
oven cavity.

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
10.1 Cleaning stainless steel and enamelled versions
To maintain stainless steel in good condition clean it regularly after each use, once it has
cooled down.

10.1.1 Ordinary daily cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or deerskin.
10.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to
set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
10.2 Cleaning of the hob components
10.2.1 Grids
Remove the grids and clean them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove any encrustations. Replace them on the hob.
Continuous contact of the grids with the flame can cause the enamel near the hot areas to be
altered. This is completely natural and does not compromise the functionality of the
component.
10.2.2 Burner caps and flame cap crowns
The caps and flame-spreader crowns are extractable to facilitate
cleaning. Wash them in hot water with non-abrasive detergent, taking
care to remove any encrustations, and wait until they are perfectly
dry.
WARNING: do not wash these components in the dishwasher.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, checking that they are positioned
in their housing with their respective caps, taking care that flame-
spreader holes A correspond to the spark plugs and the
thermocouples.
10.2.3 The spark plugs and thermocouples
To function properly the spark plugs and thermocouples must always be clean
(on the models which are equipped with them). Check them regularly and clean
with a damp cloth if necessary. Any dry residues can be removed with a
toothpick or a needle.
10.2.4 The burners
The burners can be left to soak in hot water and detergent.
10.3 Cleaning of oven
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable
parts.

26
 Instructions for the user

• Clean the oven grill with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
• Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for
too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
10.4 Door glass
The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen paper to clean. In case of
tough spots, clean with a damp sponge using regular detergent.
When cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent and water drips
might damage its operation and appearance.

11. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
