The various functions included in the cooker are selected by
operating the control devices located on the cooker control
panel.
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the
knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:
•. To light one of
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.
Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-
clockwise direction to the maximum
E setting. Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off
•
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the
reference mark on the control panel), for maximum
E and
minimum
C.
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
•
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
Some of the models are provided with instant electronic light-
ing of the hob gas burners; these models are identified by
the presence of a lighting device (see detail C). This device
operates when a slight pressure is applied to the “T” button
marked with
1
symbol. To light a specific burner just press
the button labelled “T” while pushing the corresponding knob
all the way in and turning it counter-clockwise until it lights.
For immediate lighting, first press the button and then
turn the knob. Some models come equipped with an elec-
tric starter built into the knob, in which case the lighting de-
vice labelled “C” is present while the button labelled “T” is
not. To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob
all the way in and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum
E
keeping it pressed down until the burner lights.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go
out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute
before trying to relight.
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.
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 Control Knobs
The “5 Programms” oven combines all the advantages of
traditional “static” ovens with those of modern “ventilated” ones.
The”5 Programms” oven is extremely versatile and offers 5
different but sure and easy ways of cooking. Use the knobs to
select the different cooking functions available on the
“5 Programms” oven:
L - selector knob;
M - thermostat knob;
When the selector knob is on any other setting than that identi-
fied by the “o”, the oven light turns on. The setting identified by
the
8
symbol makes it possible to turn the oven light on without
having any of the oven heating elements on. When the oven
light is on, it means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on
for the entire time the oven is being used.
1.Convection Mode
- Position of the “L” knob:
a
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
On this setting, the light comes on and the top and bottom heat-
ing elements are activated. This is the classic, traditional type
oven which has perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and
reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still un-
equalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several
ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, stews, etc. Excellent results
are achieved when preparing meat-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 still remains
the best system for cooking pastries and fruit in general and
when using specific covered containers for oven cooking. When
cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-pan or cook-
ing rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven.
Select from among the various rack heights based on whether
the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.
2. Ventilation Mode
- Position of the “L” knob:
L
- Position of the “M” knob: between 50°C and Max
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the
oven due to the fan at the behind, the air cooks and browns food
uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also
cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respec-
tive cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack
levels can be used at the same time, following the instructions in
the section entitled, “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This
cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require
an extended cooking time like lasagne, macaroni bake, chicken
and roast potatoes, etc...
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to
use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in
less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in
the loss of weight for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially
suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition
of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour
and appearance. Excellent results can also be attained when
cooking vegetable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, toma-
toes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the ventilated mode.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw meat, fish and
bread by setting the temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more
delicate foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the cold
air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
