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.
O 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 and the rotisserie spit will
be 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.
