ADVICE FOR USE

Oven cooking

• Turn off your oven 5 minutes before the

foreseen cooking time you will save

power, the accumulated heat will allow

to end cooking;

• The thickness, the conductibility and the

color of pot influences the culinary

results;

• When cooking, certain dishes increase

in volume, choose the pot so that above

the raw mixture remain enough place;

• For preventing fat dripping when

roasting use tall rim pans proportional to

the piece to be roasted;

• Prick the skin of poultry and the

sausage with a fork before cooking to

avoid its blowing up;

• Between the dish and the oven grid

could be put an aluminium foil but not

covering all the grid;

• Use glass heat resisting pans for crispy

and soufflés;

• Add some fat before finishing the

cooking.

Never line any part of the oven with

aluminium foil. It would result in an

accumulation of heat which might

damage the cooking results and also

damage the enamel.

The cover has to be opened when using

the oven.

Influence of the pots on oven cooking

results

You have to know that:

• The aluminium, the terracotta pots

diminish the browning bellow and

maintains the humidity of the meals. We

advice to use it for pastry, roast meat.

• The enameled cast iron, the tinned pots,

the glass and the heat-proof porcelain,

the pots with non-sticky interior and

colored exterior, increase the browning

bellow and dries the meals. We suggest

to use them for pies and all other crispy

cooking that has to be colored bellow

and above.

Cooking on the hob

Choose always the right pot, proportional to

the burner used.

In case you use a large bottom pot, put it

slight backwards on the plate, so that its

bottom should not outrun the front of the

enameled hob, thus avoiding flame

exceeding and overheating of front panel.

Before covering make sure the hob

is cooled, otherwise the cover could be

damaged.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, check that the

knobs are on “off” position, that the

appliance has cooled completely and

that it is disconnected.

Never use abrasive powder or wire

sponge for cleaning the appliance.

Burners

Clean the covers with warm water and mild

detergent, remove all crust.

Never use vinegar.

The flame splitters have to be kept clean for

ensuring good ignition.

Before igniting make sure the flame splitter

and the caps are properly replaced.

The assembly has to be perfectly dry.

Control panel, knobs, enameled pan

support, cover, front and side panels

For cleaning them use a wet sponge with a

soft detergent, rinse and dry.

Oven Cavity

The enameled oven cavity is best cleaned

whilst the oven is still warm.

Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked

in warm soapy water after each use. From

time to time it will be necessary to do a

more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary

oven cleaner.

Hob

After every use wipe it with a sponge

soaked in warm detergent water, avoiding

leakage through the wholes of the hob.

Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

In case of overflowing, wet and leave it

dissolving but do not scratch and avoid use

of abrasive or caustic products that could

damage the enamel.

Wipe immediately the stains of vinegar,

lemon, generally the acid substances.

Oven

Enamelled parts: Same cleaning as other

enamelled parts.

Oven door cleaning

For a complete cleaning of the oven door it

is advisable to dismantle as follows:

-open the door completely (fig. 6)

-turn the two blocking parts on the hinges

arms 60º.

-close partially the door, to a 30º angle

(fig.7).

-lift the door and pull it out.

The internal oven door glass can be

removed for cleaning. For this purpose draw

out the 2 fixing screws (fig.8).

Important: The inner glass has to be

always in place when using the oven.

Cleaning of the accessories.
