On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on.
This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been per-
fected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced 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, goulash, 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 baking. When
cooking in Traditional, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack
at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using
the different rack heights available, 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.

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. The
electricity absorption in this cooking mode is only 1600 W.
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
v
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”.
Multi-cooking Mode
b
Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the
heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way
and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting
. The burner is
fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the
knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting
the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to
allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat
up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding
knob, as follows:
• Off
Maximum
Minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction
until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).
Models with Flame Failure Device
These models are identified by the presence of a flame detec-
tion 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 ther-
mocouple 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.
Cooling ventilation (only in certain models)
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some models
are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically
when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven
cools down sufficiently.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend
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 during this initial use is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during stor-
age and until it is installed.
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 certain models). 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 grid provided with the appliance
inserted especially along the oven guides.
N.B.: Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic
programmer, to use the electric oven, just press buttons
