knobs is shown by a solid ring
hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the
same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob
counter clockwise to the maximum
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol corresponds
with the reference mark on the control panel), for maximum
and minimum .
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
•
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob all
the way in and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum
keeping it pressed down until the burner lights.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go
out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute
before trying to relight.
Models with Flame Failure Device
These models are identified by the presence of a flame de-
tection device (see detail H).
Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a safety
device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in
for about 3 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety
thermocouple is heated.
The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional
convection ovens with those of the more modern fan
assisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking
modes. The various features offered by the oven are
selected by means of selector knob "L" and thermostat
"M" situated on the control panel.
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.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom
shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling
food or when using the rotisserie (only available on cer-
tain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the
bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of

Set knob "L" to the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating ele-
ments in the oven come on.
Traditional
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and re-
duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,
etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal
or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, gou-
lash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re-
mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit
and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-
ing. When cooking in Traditional, only use one dripping
pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribu-
tion will be uneven. Using the different rack heights avail-
able, you can balance the amount of heat between the
top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the
various rack heights based on whether the dish needs
more or less heat from the top.
Baking
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max.
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout
the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation
of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are
a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits,
savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables
au gratin, etc.....
"Fast cooking" Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max.
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary),
such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well
as for a few "home-made" dishes.
The best results when cooking using the "Fast cooking"
mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the
second from the bottom), please see the table entitled
"Practical Cooking Advice".
