Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob between 50°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 reduced 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, goulash,
wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless
remains the best system for baking cakes as well as
fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes
for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode,
only use one dripping 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.
Pastry Mode
Position of thermostat knob between 50°C and Max.
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods - especially cakes that need to rise because
the heat coming from the bottom helps the leavening
process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time
for the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore
we recommend you use the “Convection Mode” in
these cases.
“Top” Oven
Position of thermostat knob between 50°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of
cooking.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob: Max
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks,
veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph.
The oven-operating pilot lamp
Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off
when the temperature inside the oven reached the
temperature 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.
Timer Knob
To use the timer, the ringer must be wound up by
turning the knob one full turn clockwise

; then turn
it back

, to the desired time so that the number of
minutes on the knob matches the reference mark on
the panel.
Storage recess below the oven*
Below the oven a recess can be used to contain
cooking pans and cooker accessories. Moreover,
during oven operation, it may be used to keep
food warm.To open the storage is necessary turn it
downwards.
Caution: this storage recess
must not be used to store
inflammable materials.
