THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches
the selected temperature. At this point the light
illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating
that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the
temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to
any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating. By selecting

with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL
programme, for which only the MAX power level is
recommended.
STATIC OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to use one cooking rack only. if more than one rack is
used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
OVEN BOTTOM mode
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes
(in baking trays) which are already cooked on the
surface but require further cooking in the centre, or
for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only
require moderate colouring on the surface. It should
be noted that this function does not allow the maximum
temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C)
and it is therefore not recommended that foods are
cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking
cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of
180°C or lower).
GRILL mode
The top heating element is activated. 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.
DOUBLE GRILL mode
The top heating element is activated. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high
surface temperature: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets,
hamburgers etc...
! The GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must
be performed with the oven door shut.

Practical advice on using the hob
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that
they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the heat produced.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the
pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and
that both the pans and the hob remain effective
for a longer period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone
to become damaged.
