anding cookers
ILVE stoves, wall ovens and cooktops feature many advanced
cooking components and safety refinements. However before
using your oven for the first time the following installation
check must be carefully carried out and oven elements must
be burnt in.
• Check that your ILVE installer has screwed the oven into its
cavity and that all packaging is removed from inside oven.
• Check that all oven racks are in place.
Rack positions
ILVE ovens are equipped with
various racks depending on the
model and size; all ILVE wire
racks are reversible. They have
angled offset ends to allow
for height variation between
shelves; this is a particularly useful feature when cooking with
deep dishes, for large roasts or when batch cooking.
Burning in elements
It is necessary to burn the protective oils that are used in
manufacturing and shipping from the elements.
1 Set the clock to the correct time.
2 Set oven temperature control knob to 200º C and select
cooking function mode 2 by turning function control knob.
3 Allow to burn in for 10 to 15 minutes.
4 Repeat process for functions 5 and 8 in sequence and
allow to burn in each mode for 10 to 15 minutes.
5 Clean the oven thoroughly when you have completed the
burn in process so that the oven and grill/rotisserie will be
ready for use.
• There may be a slight unpleasant odour during the initial
burn off procedure. As a result we advise you open doors
and windows in the kitchen during this procedure.

Preparing your electric
oven for use:
Setting the clock
To enable use of your ILVE oven you
must first set the clock to the correct
time. If the clock is not set correctly the
oven will not operate.
Using the oven
When using your ILVE oven you must
select, using separate knobs, both a
mode of cooking and a temperature
at which to cook. The only exception
to this rule is when using the defrost
mode, where no temperature setting
is required.
Temperature is indicated by an
ORANGE light. This light will turn
on and off during cooking as the
thermostat readjusts itself.
Cooking mode selection is indicated by
a GREEN light. This light should stay
on throughout the cooking process.
All ILVE ovens are fitted with a cavity
cooling fan. This fan is thermostatically
controlled and automatically switches
on when the oven cavity reaches 60ºC.
This gently blows air out through the
front louvre just above the oven door
handle, reducing outside heat.
Temperature
ILVE ovens are well insulated and
therefore highly efficient; as a result we
recommend you may have to adjust
cooking temperatures. In an ILVE
oven a moderate to hot temperature is
175ºC. You will find this temperature
will not need to be exceeded, except
for specific cooking requirements
which call for high heat over a short
period of time. Exceeding 175ºC when
cooking may result in food cooking too
quickly on the outside while remaining
undercooked inside. Remember to
reduce the temperature by 20ºC when
using the fan forced function.
