How To UseYour Appliance  
The various cooking fetures offered by your oven can be  
selected using the "G" setting knob and variable grill knob  
(N) located on the control panel.  
D
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-  
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting  
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing  
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door  
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-  
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances  
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-  
stalled.  
Oven Light  
The light comes on when the "G" knob is turned to the  
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains  
on when any of the heating elements is turned on.  
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when  
using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other  
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never  
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in  
operation because this could damage the enamel.Always  
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on  
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially  
along the oven guides.  
Thermostat Light (L)  
This light indicates that the oven is heating.When it turns  
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-  
ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light  
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature  
at a constant level.  
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (I)  
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and  
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast  
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the  
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at  
the centre.  
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the  
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control  
panel with the  
symbol on the timer knob.  
Using the oven  
When the oven control knob (G) is turned in a clockwise  
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,  
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in  
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.

further to the complete range of temperatures shown on  
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the  
food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached  
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from  
50°C to 240°C).

The top centre heating element will come on and the  
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this  
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off  
in the downward direction by the electric heating element.  
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill  
make it possible to brown meats on the surface while  
locking in the juices to keep them tender.

Double Grill  
Both of the top heating elements turn on and the rotisserie  
motor (if present) is activated.  
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which  
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by  
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in  
the corners of the oven.  
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be  
left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between  
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from  
overheating.  
Before using the hot plates for the first time, you  
should heat them at maximum temperature for  
approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During  
this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and  
reaches its maximum resistance.  
The green pilot lamp (H)  
This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.  
Cooking Control Timer Knob  
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control  
when the oven shuts off during cooking.To use this feature,  
you must wind the "M" knob one full turn in the counter-

This appliance conforms to all relevant European  
Standards regarding surface temperatures, however, in  
order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door  
and reduce energy consumption, a supplementary kit has  
been made available as an optional extra. The fitting of  
this kit should be considered, if energy saving is desirable  
or if young children may be present. To purchase the  
supplementary kit code 074657 contact your nearest  
Merloni Service Centre.  
direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator  
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the  
knob.  
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will  
sound and automatically turn off the oven.  
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the  
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control  
panel with the  
symbol on the timer knob.  
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can  
be used like a normal timer.  
Practical Cooking Advice  
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be  
used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into the  
bottom or top guides depending on whether the food needs  
more heat from the top or bottom.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
Preheating  
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required for  
leavened foods), we recommend using the "conventional"  
oven feature which makes it possible to reach the tempera-  
ture desired in a very short time. After the oven has been  
preheated, the red indicator light (L) will turn off.At this point,  
you can select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
Cooking Fish and Meat  
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from  
drying out.When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low

temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that  
should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in  
the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature

setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven  
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower  
the temperature setting.Place the meat on the centre of the  
rack and place the drip pan beneath it to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre  
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat  
from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts  
(especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or  
bacon on the top.  
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to  
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.  
Using the Grill  
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating element  
situated in the top of the oven chamber. The centre, or the  
complete area of the grill can be selected by turning the oven  
control knob (G) in a clockwise direction to align the symbols  
Cooking Pastries

mark on the control panel.The variable temperature control  
(N) is positioned to right of the oven knob. This knob will  
provide varying grill temperatures when rotated from “max”  
to “minand may be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any  
time during the grilling operation.

To operate the grill  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
1. Turn the oven control knob (G) clockwise until the required  
grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the control panel.  
The element is now “on”.  
2. The variable grill control (N) can now be operated to select  
the required heat.  
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels  
(see cooking table).To catch grease or fat and prevent  
smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack level.
