The electric oven is controlled by an electric thermostat combined with a switch used to turn on the elements. The electric
oven can be combined with an electric grill (to use the grill see the specific pages). The oven is heated by 2 elements:
one on the top and one on the bottom. Turning the knob (fig. 31) turns on the bottom element and the top external
element while the thermostat is used to set a temperature ranging from 50°C to 250°C. It can be adjusted using the scale
indicated on the ring around the knob. An orange light turns off indicating that the temperature setting has been reached.
Therefore, it is normal for this light to turn on and off while the oven is working. There are 3 fixed positions beyond the
250 °C setting:
- the symbol
indicates that only the bottom element (1600W) has been turned on;
- the symbol
indicates that only the top external element (1200W) has been turned on;
- the symbol
indicates that only the grill element (1500W) has been turned on (see the specific paragraph).
In these positions the temperature is not controlled by the thermostat.
Warning! Oven light running for static oven.
As for cookers with one control electric static oven, the oven lamp can be switched on thanks to the specific button and
also every time that the oven is ignited trought the relative selector.

VENTILATED CONVENTIONAL OVEN OR WITH A MULTIFUNCTION OVEN)
The thermostat supplied with the relative models maintains a constant temperature inside the oven at a specific
temperature setting ranging from 50°C to 250°C. Turn the knob (fig.32-33) clockwise and align the selected temperature
indicated on the ring with the index etched on the control panel. Thermostat operation is indicated by an orange light
which will turn off when the temperature inside the oven is 10°C greater than the temperature setting, and will turn on
when the oven is 10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven elements only if the
relative switch is in one of the possible oven element operating modes: if the switch is in position 0, the thermostat has
not effect on the oven elements, which remain off.

The 4 + 0 switch installed in the ventilated conventional oven models is used, along with the thermostat, to control the
electric fan and the oven elements since they can be turned on by turning the 4 + 0 switch knob (fig.34) and the
thermostat knob. Turning just one of the two knobs will not have any effect on the oven except to turn on the oven light or
the electric fan when inserted.
The electric oven is heated by 3 elements: one on the bottom and two on the top; turning the switch knob turns on the
element relative to the symbol indicated on the ring but to be activated the thermostat knob must be turned until the
orange light turns on indicating that the element has been turned on. Placing the switch knob on any of the four operating
modes turns on the oven light, together with the relative element. Once the temperature and the elements to be used
have been set, the oven elements are turned on and off by the thermostat; therefore, it is normal for the orange light to
turn on and off while the oven is working.
To turn off the electric oven set the switch knob to position 0 to prevent the thermostat from controlling the elements.
Setting the thermostat knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the switch, to turn on the
electric fan and the oven light.
The switch has 4 different fixed positions corresponding to 4 different types of oven operation:
- the symbol
indicates that the bottom element (1600W) and the top external element (1200W) and
the electric fan have been turned on;
- the symbol
indicates that the bottom element (1600W) and the top external element (1200W) have been turned on
- the symbol
indicates that only the electric fan has been turned on;
- the symbol
indicates that only the grill element (1600W) has been turned on.
When the knob is set to one of these four positions, the oven light is always on, thus indicating that the oven is being
energised.
The 9 + 0 switch installed in the multifunction oven models is used, along with the thermostat, to control the electric fan
and the oven elements since they can be turned on by turning the 9 + 0 switch knob (fig.35-36) and the thermostat knob.
Turning just one of the two knobs will not have any effect on the oven except to turn on the oven light or the electric fan
when inserted. The electric oven is heated by 4 elements: one on the bottom, two on the top or one circular; turning the
switch knob turns on the element relative to the symbol indicated on the ring but to be activated the thermostat knob must
be turned until the orange light turns on indicating that the element has been turned on. Placing the switch knob on any of
the nine operating modes turns on the oven light, together with the relative element. Once the temperature and the
elements to be used have been set, the oven elements are turned on and off by the thermostat; therefore, it is normal for
the orange light to turn on and off while the oven is working.
To turn off the electric oven set the switch knob to position 0 to prevent the thermostat from controlling the elements.
Setting the thermostat knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the switch, to turn on the
electric fan and the oven light.
The switch has 9 different fixed positions corresponding to 9 different types of oven operation:
USING THE ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT
USING THE 4 + 0 SWITCH
USING THE 9 + 0 SWITCH
