3. Grill
- Position of the “L” knob:
F
- Position of the “M” knob: Max
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 recom-
mended for dishes that require high temperature on the surface:
beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc...
4. The “Double Grill”
- Position of the “L” knob:
d
- Position of the “M” knob: Max
This oversized grill has a completely new design, increasing
cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill also eliminates pock-
ets of unheated air in the corners of the oven.
Important: Always leave the oven door closed when using
the grill setting n order to achieve the best results and save on
energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack heights (see
cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath the oven rack
to prevent grease from falling onto the bottom of the oven.
5. Ventilated Double Grill
- Position of the “L” knob:
K
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50 and 200°C
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through
forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate into the food. Excellent results are achieved with ke-
babs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb
chops, chicken, quail, pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal
for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn on (where
present). Cooking with this function is especially recommended
for meat dishes such as loins, poultry, etc….
Note: When using the grill (features 3, 4, 5), the oven door
must be closed.
Thermostat Light (O)
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-
ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature
at a constant level.
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (U) (only a
few models)
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.
Before using the hot plates for the first time, you should
heat them at maximum temperature for approximately
4 minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage,
their protective coating hardens and reaches its
maximum resistance.
The green pilot lamp (Q) (only a few models)
This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.
Timer Knob (only a few models)
To use the timer, the ringer “S” must be wound up by turning
the knob one full turn clockwise
4; then turn it back 5, to
the desired time so that the number of minutes on the knob
matches the reference mark on the panel.
Attention
Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very hot
during the cooking.
The rotisserie (only a few models)
To operate the rotisserie, proceed as follows:
a) place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 4th rack and
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole
into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;
c) to start the spit, set the oven selection knob (L) on
setting

Practical advice for burner use
In order to get the maximum yield it is important to remember
the following:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so
as to avoid flames overshooting the edges.
• At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.
• Use cookware with lids.
• Always use cookware with flat bottoms.
