ICON MODE FUNCTION
MODE 1
Pizza mode
ILVE’s unique Pizza mode has been specifically designed for you to cook the perfect Pizza
To achieve perfect results; turn the oven thermostat up to 250 degrees (best temperature
for pizza cooking) ILVE’s pizza mode will do the rest by turning on all elements in the oven
at 30% and the bottom element on at 100% of their capacity. This ensures you get a
nice crispy base with the assistance of the other elements at lower heat to cook the top
of your pizza. For best results it is recommended that ILVE’s pizza stone be used on the
middle shelf when using this function.
MODE 2
Conventional oven
mode
This is the traditional static oven mode with no fan allowing heat from both above and
below to convect simultaneously. This is the ideal function for cooking heavy cakes such
as mud cakes or banana cakes, Christmas cakes, breads and large roasts. Such items
need to be placed in a central position in the oven.
MODE 3
Lower floor heating
mode
This mode allows heat from the base of the oven. It is suitable for long, slow
cooking such as stews and casseroles or for blind baking and finishing pastries.
MODE 4
Upper element
mode
In this mode the upper outer element is in use. The permits ‘Au Gratin’ style cooking for a
firm crust.
MODE 5
Conventional Grilling
mode
In this mode the complete inner roof element heats up creating direct infra-red heat from
above. With this mode you should grill with the door closed.
Rotisserie mode
(All models except
600mm and P70
Series ovens)
The rotisserie mode works in a similar way as traditional grilling and is one of the best
ways to cook meat and poultry. With a right hand side motor drive in the oven, or in the
rear of the 300mm & 400mm ovens. The ILVE rotisserie can accommodate up to two
joints of meat or portions of poultry at once.
MODE 6
Fan Grill
This mode utilises the fan combined with the infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated
evenly around the oven. This is the ideal mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops
and sausages on the top level whilst baking a potato bake on the lower level. For best
results the door should be closed during this grilling mode.
MODE 7
Fan Assist
With both the top and bottom elements in use and the fan circulating hot air,
this cooking mode is best suited for bread, cakes and sponges, where very even
temperatures are required, even in the corners of the oven.
This mode also creates less splatter when roasting.
MODE 8
Fan Forced
The fan in all ILVE ovens is surrounded by a triple ring heating element that
evenly distributes heated air throughout the oven. This mode is perfect for batch baking
biscuits or muffins and most general cooking tasks. IMPORTANT – Ensure you reduce the
temperature by 20°C. Mode 8 is also the self-cleaning mode in models, which have self
cleaning liners.
MODE 9
Quick Start
or Pre-heat mode
To obtain the best result from your oven it is recommended that you preheat it prior to
use. Combining an advanced hot air function and conventional heating mode ILVE ovens
can reach a temperature of 175°C in just 6 – 8 minutes. Once preheated the required
cooking mode should be selected before proceeding with cooking.
MODE 10
Defrost mode
This function allows you to fan defrost at an ambient temperature.
Unlike defrosting using your microwave this mode does not dry or par-cook food.
Roasting probe
(For models 948
Series, 600SSXMP &
Majestic Series only)
Some ILVE models are equipped with a microprocessor controlled roasting probe which
can be used to cook roasts to a precise finish either rare, medium or well-done, taking the
guess work out of cooking.
PLEASE NOTE: To turn the oven light on or off during cooking,
simply push in the oven control knob.
