Cooking advice  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a  
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-  
sonal experience.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the  
cooking time.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Baking cakes  
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes  
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake-  
baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.  
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as  
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour or use greaseproof paper.  
Cooking fish and meat  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low  
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be  
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is  
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)  
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.  
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the  
temperature and the longer the cooking time should  
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-  
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so  
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below  
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.  
Pastry is too dry  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Pastry dropped  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning  
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from  
Replacing the oven lamp  
the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must  
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:  
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;  
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;  
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C) with the following  
characteristics::  
- Voltage 230V  
- Wattage 25W  
- Type E14  
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are  
washed with warm water without using any abrasive  
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them;  
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often  
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,  
followed by careful rinsing and drying;  
· the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with  
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any  
scale;  
· in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the  
terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices  
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes  
of the flame spreaders should be checked to make  
sure they are free of any obstructions;  
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into  
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents  
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time.After  
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It  
is also recommended to dry any water drops;  
On models with glass covers, the covers should be  
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or  
abrasives is to be avoided.  
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains.  
Greasing the taps  
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to  
turn. If so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease  
replaced.  
N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician  
authorised by the manufacturer.  
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners  
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before  
opening it.  
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose  
and substitute it if there are any defects;we recommended  
changing it every year.  
Removing the lid  
The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning.To  
remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it  
upwards (see figure)
