WARNING! When loading wood, it is recommended to keep a distance of some centime-
tres between the fire door and the combustible, in order to not expose the glass to high
temperatures that could damage it.

PLATE COOKING
The radiant plate is designed to allow a fast and
simple cooking. The hotter part is situated in corre-
spondence with the hotplate, this is the best part
for placing a pot which must get warm quickly. The
external parts of the plate are better to keep foods
warm. To obtain the maximum cooking speed you

OVEN COOKING
The internal temperature of the oven depends
on the combustion speed and on the amount of
combustible used. In particular, working on the
primary air regulator and so on the speed com-
bustion, you can obtain a more steady combustion
in order to avoid sudden changes in temperature
inside the oven. If you want to heat the oven start-
ing from cold cooker, we suggest to increase the
temperature with bright fire and then to decrease
the speed combustion to keep the temperature
steady. The cookers with oven are endowed with
fire door with glass and thermometer that makes
easier the temperature controlling operations;
the temperature indicated by the thermometer is
approximate ad is useful only for the cooking of
foods. If you want to brown the meals, you should
keep them in the upper part of the oven: instead,

have to use broken and thin wood and make the
regulations as described in the previous chapters.
The plate must not be overheated and made red
hot because in such way the cooker may experi-
ence damages without having no advantage for
the cooking of foods.
if you want to cook in a steadier way you should
keep the meals in the centre. When you do not
use the oven, we suggest to keep the oven's door
slightly open in order to let the heat go outside the
cooker: an overheating can damage the cooker.
For example, to cook the spineless person biscuits in
a correct way, it is necessary the pre-heating of the
oven at a temperature indicated on the thermometer
of 150°, keeping it in temperature by adding more or
less 1 Kg of wood for every charge as the reaching
of the coals. Once the temperature becomes stable,
insert the baking-pan with the biscuits in the central
position in the oven for 10 minutes, then extract the
baking-pan, rotate it and reinsert it again in the cen-
tral position for other 5 minutes. In the end, remove
the baking-pan from the oven and leave cool the bis-
cuits.
